Morgan Ashley grew up raising cattle and barrel racing. It wasn’t long before the music bug hit hard, and she knew that she belonged on a stage somewhere, playing the music she grew up loving and introducing fans to her own unique brand. Her strong vocals mixed with witty lyricism over an ice-cold country tune is the perfect recipe for a Morgan Ashley song. Morgan plays over 150 dates a year at venues across Texas and beyond. She has had five successful charting songs to Texas Radio Top 40 or higher and was awarded the New Female Vocalist of the Year at the Texas Regional Radio Music Awards in 2021.
