[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.

[ATTENDED: February 22, 2022] Billie EIlish

Back in 2019, I bought tickets for my daughter and I to see Billie Eilish’s tour in 2020.  I was really looking forward to it because I’d heard that she put on an amazing show.

I was especially looking forward to the energy and the visuals.  Then COVID came in and we watched with bated breath as concerts were cancelled.  And then she postponed the whole tour.  Ultimately, she cancelled it.

And actually that proved to be not a bad thing in the long run.  The opener we had was much better than Denzel Curry.  And our new seats proved to be terrific.  When she announced the tour for the new album, we were given a pre-sale code since we had tickets for the earlier show.  Then in May of 2021 I grabbed tickets and waited nine months!

The only bummer was that this new tour was for her newly released, more mature album (she’s all of 18).  And I didn’t really like it.  I thought it was kind of bland.  I love that Billie is singing and not mumbling like she does on the first album–and I was really impressed by her voice.  But I found the album lacked the dynamics of the first one.

She was performing most of the album live.  Although I see that in the previous tour she did a whole middle section of covers, which I don’t really like, so that’s okay then.

I also thought she’d dress like the album.  But nope, as you can see she was good old punky Billie.  And she played 26 songs and performed for about an hour and forty-five minutes.
