Today’s guest is hell on heels and then some. She is an artist. A singer. A mother. A survivor. She is Ashley Monroe, and she is our guest on Season 3, Episode 14 of “Load-In Through the Back”!
A native of Knoxville, TN, Ashley and her family moved to Nashville to pursue music following the death of her father in her early teens. Ashley found success on country radio and beyond as a solo artist, a member of the female-fronted supergroup Pistol Annies with Miranda Lambert and Angaleena Presley, and a featured vocalist on Train’s 2012 summer hit “Bruises.”
Our conversation chronicles her return to music following a bout with cancer, the birth of a band in an Airstream, seven year towns, carpooling with Vince Gill, and much more.
Ashley’s latest record, “Tennessee Lightning” was released in August of 2025, with a Deluxe Version pending.
She is currently on the road with country megastars Little Big Town supporting that release.
