Ashley was moved by the Town Hall during the Our Ramona Compilation Album project. So much so that she wrote a song with Tim Connelly and Troy Powers called “Whiskey In The Walls,” which was inspired by Woody Kirkman and a story he told. The folklore goes that in 1894 when the Barnett’s gifted the building to the town, they had required it to be a dry hall. The Mason’s in response built a jug of whiskey into the Adobe walls so there would always be alcohol there. This is unproven but the story made a great song that will be performed this evening, even though it’s not on the album. There will be a single release to come. But when Ashley was on a tour of the building and thinking about the whiskey in the walls, she immediately thought, “I should have my CD release party here, no matter if it’s finished or not.” She brought the idea to the board meeting and through some brainstorming, we are excited to officially announce this show is underway. We anticipate it to sell out, so don’t wait to purchase tickets!
“Call of the Void” is a 12 song solo album by Ashley E. Norton, recorded in Nashville by producer Johnny Garcia. It's a true Americana. Ashley has pulled influences from County, Rock, Folk and Blues. She wrote or co-wrote all of the songs but one, which is a beautiful Led Zeppelin cover of "Going To California." Johnny Garcia plays all instruments except for some of the acoustic guitar by Ashley and cello and violin from Jimmy Mattingly, who also plays fiddle for Garth Brooks. Ashley sings all of the lead and backup vocals in a stunning mix with something for everyone.
