I Just Read About That…

[ATTENDED: September 28, 2025] Ashe-–All Things Go [Day 3]

I had not  heard of Ashe either (apparently I was the only one who hadn’t).  She has put out several albums and has worked with some pretty major people (see below).

I was amused to discover that her album titles are her full name: Ashlyn, Rae, and  Willson.  What will she do next?

I really enjoyed her set and would happily see her again.  I need to check out her full albums.

Another Man’s Jeans sounded a bit like Sheryl Crowe–a jangly pop song with an oooooh bridge.

It segued right into Angry Woman with some really funny lyrics

Nobody likes an angry woman/I always say the things that I shouldn’t/Oh what a shame my tongue’s not tied/You can do whatever you want/I’ll do whatever I like.

It also had some really rocking guitars which I rather liked.  Emma Harvey played some killer solos.

When she sang The Little Mess You Made, someone handed her a present.  And someone else handed her a sash that read “Ashe things Go.”   Which she put on backwards (twice) before getting it right.  Turns out The Favors is a band that she formed with Billie Eilish’s brother Finneas, which  is why it is so damned catchy.  Apparently it came out last week.

And the fans were so into her screaming the words to songs when she asked them to and totally rocking out to Cherry Trees.

Some of her songs were just instantly memorable like Pull the Plug–so simple yet catchy.

It was cute how much she was asking how everybody was–do you have sunscreen?  Are you drinking enough water?

Earlier she had released a song with Suki Waterhouse (Pushing Daisies).  Suki did not come out though. But it was fine because she followed it up with the killer song Save Myself (Ashe really has an amazing voice).

For the second Favors song, she played keys (this one was more mellow).  Her songs are so interesting–they have a very theatrical feeling.  There’s a storytelling element to them, but they also feel cinematic–big choruses that swell wonderfully.  And I guess in some respects her songs sound the same, but it really works–Till Forever Falls Apart feels like the kind of song an entire stadium would sing–and they did.

She ended the set with her first hit (which everyone knew but me).  Moral of the Story is a super catchy and wry look at love.  But she introduced it by telling us that she had just gotten engaged.  So she changed the line You think that you’re in love but you’re really just in pain to you’re really just engaged.

I would absolutely see her again and I’d really like to see a show by The Favors as well  I wonder if they tour?

It’s great finding a great new musician you’d never heard of before.
