Based in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia, Ashlee Watkins & Andrew Small evoke a golden era when old-time, bluegrass and country music shared a stage every Saturday night. The duo seamlessly blends overlooked gems of the past with original material, captivating audiences around the globe with their stirring harmonies and tastefully classic stylings. Ashlee and Andrew have a steadily growing collection of prizes from fiddlers' conventions around the Southeast of the United States and their string band, The Alum Ridge Boys & Ashlee, has taken home many blue ribbons including first place old-time at the 85th Annual Galax Old Fiddlers' Convention. As songwriters, they have been featured in the IBMA Songwriter Showcase and won first prize in the 29th Annual MerleFest Chris Austin Songwriting Contest. In 2023, the duo released their debut album, Dear Companion.
