My wife and I are frequent visitors to the Birchmere. It is a great venue! We tend to enjoy jazz acts there, but we also love country music. In fact, we love the tv show Nashville. I know Miranda Lambert is very talented, so when I saw her fellow musician and band mate Ashley Monroe would be coming to the Birchmere... My wife and I both agreed it was worth a visit. And the bonus was the cost was below average for the tickets. We'll we were BLOWN away! First, we were treated to some exceptional guitar playing and soaring vocals by Striking Matches (two budding stars from Ashley's crew). Their music has been featured on the tv show Nashville, and we recognized it. But then Ashley and her band came out and performed a superb show! Classy, gutsy, and full of emotion! What a treat! You should run to see them too!
Ashley is a wonderful songwriter, and had a great backing band (including her opener Striking Matches, 2 incredible guitarists who just signed up with T Bone Burnett to make a record) Her beautiful voice makes her dreamy songs heavenly.
Both Striking Matches and Ashley Monroe were amazing! The venue was great too!
The Ashley Monroe & Striking Matches concert was fantastic! Ashley has a great voice and the county music stations should take note and start playing a lot more of her music!
If you ever have the chance to see Ashley Monroe: run, don't walk to do so! She was just amazing. The surprise of the evening for us was Striking Matches. I'd never heard of them and they were fantastic. Sarah Zimmerman is one talented gal, and quite a fine guitarist. Really a fun show.
Ashley is an awesome songwriter and performer. She engages the audience with her stories about her personal life and the writing process. Striking Matches is one of the best talents coming out of Nashville. A phenomal guitar playing duo giving many "wow" moments. I enjoyed this performance very much and would love to see both again.
Ashley Monroe is a wonderful artist – she is a country music legend in the making. One of the finest concerts my wife and I have seen in a long time.
