This tour follows the release of Monroe’s highly anticipated sixth studio album, Tennessee Lightning. Recorded in the wake of her transformative bout with cancer, the 17-song collection documents her remarkable journey as a celebration of life, love and the healing power of music.
The project is a work of deep reflection, but more than that, it’s a celebration of life and love and the enduring power of music to heal and make us whole. Monroe teamed up once again with GRAMMY winning producer/engineer Gena Johnson (John Prine, Jason Isbell) on the sprawling epic, weaving together strands of country, folk, blues, soul, and bedroom pop with the help of a host of friends including Marty Stuart, T Bone Burnett, and Brittney Spencer. The result is an album as eclectic and freewheeling as Monroe herself, a rich, multifaceted meditation on identity, purpose, and meaning from an artist who’s learned to see herself—and the world around her—in a whole new light.
ABOUT ASHLEY MONROE:
A Tennessee native, Monroe began her career behind the scenes, singing on sessions at Jack White’s Third Man Studios and penning tunes for the likes of Guy Clark, Carrie Underwood, and Miranda Lambert. In 2011, she and Lambert teamed up with Angaleena Presley to form the Pistol Annies, which would go on to top the Country Album charts, crack the Top 5 on the Billboard 200, and earn a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. Monroe’s solo output was equally lauded, with NPR hailing her work as “subtle and breathtaking,” and over the course of four studio albums, she would land her own GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album in addition to performing on The Tonight Show, Conan, Late Night, and The View.
