Ever been listening to country music and wish the girls had a bit more musical ability and didn't just hide behind a microphone. Ashley Taylor might be just what your looking for her single right now is Play Like Ken and this girl means it. She's from Bakersfield which might has well be known as the Nashville of the West Coast with the likes of Dwight Yoakam Merle Haggard and Red Simpson all calling Bakersfield home.That town just can't be beat when it comes to country music and there own style and sound ! With that being said Ashley brings all that and her guitar to the table, if I had to compare her to anyone in country music right now it'd be Clare Dunn who I have a ton of respect for. I hope everyone enjoys reading this interview and takes the time to listen to her music.

What are your musical influences is there a song by the artist a whole album or just there whole catalog of music that draws you to them?
Ashley Taylor
I have a wide range of influences ! I love to listen to any album by Loretta Lynn, Taylor Swift or Brandy Clark ! I also really enjoy bands like Bon Jovi, hearts and Nickelback! There is a lot of great music out there!
All Things Music
What is your favorite song you've recorded, what makes it important to you? (Obviously most people say there single here and it might be, but feel free to pick a personal track and talk about it)
Ashley Taylor
I would say my favorite song that I've ever recorded is a song I wrote about my stepdad! It's a song called "Dad To Me" ! It is definitely the most personal song I've ever written! You see I was abandoned by my biological dad and that song tells the story of mine and my stepdad's relationship! He is such a great guy and I am so happy that I get to call him my dad!
All Things Music
If you could open up for three people alive or dead who would it be and where?(Feel free to explain why)
Ashley Taylor
I would love to open up for Johnny Cash hands-down! I am just a huge cash fan! Lol Loretta Lynn would also for sure be on that list! I'm such a big fan though I don't know if I could speak much less sing after meeting her! Lol I also wouldn't mind opening for Kacey Musgraves . I think she is a great writer! I would love to hang out with her and if she wanted after the show to write a song I would be more than down! LOL
All Things Music
Outside of music what are your favorite hobbies, also any favorite sports or sports teams?
Ashley Taylor
Outside of music I really like to go hiking, shooting,watch movies & honestly just hang out with friends! If I'm with the right people I can have fun doing pretty much anything! LOL
