Ashley Barron, a rising star in the country-rock scene is back with her latest single, “Cryin' In A Bar.” With a dynamic blend of heartfelt storytelling and gritty vocals, Ashley’s music is a refreshing twist on traditional country narratives, capturing the raw emotions of loss and heartbreak with an authenticity that resonates deeply with her fans.

Scheduled for release on July 19, 2024, "Cryin' In A Bar" is hoped to be another success, following the momentum of her previous singles “Beer in a Bar” and “The Wind,” both of which secured spots in the Billboard Top 40. Known for her powerful stage presence, Ashley has shared the spotlight with notable artists like Maddie & Tae, Tyler Farr, and Craig Campbell, and has toured with country legends T. Graham Brown and Chad Brock.

Emerging from her hometown of Sacramento, California, Ashley Barron has always been driven by a passion for music. Inspired by strong women in country music such as Miranda Lambert and Loretta Lynn, she infuses her life experiences into her songwriting, creating music that is both passionate and relatable. From singing in her bedroom and participating in high school choir to declining an acceptance into the University of Arizona to pursue her dreams, Ashley’s journey to stardom has been marked by perseverance and dedication.

Her first single, "It Might Get Loud," released in 2017 when she was just 23, marked the beginning of a promising career. By 2019, she had released "Wrote a Song About It," and her subsequent single, "Beer in a Bar," achieved critical acclaim, climbing to #37 on the Billboard charts. Her song "The Wind" also made a significant impact, debuting on the Billboard chart at #59 and eventually reaching #37, becoming the second song added on country radio. "Let Me Go," another notable release, gained significant traction, landing in the Top 30 on the Music Row singles chart.

Ashley’s music videos, such as the one for "Let Me Go" directed by Jimmy Lynch of Rascel 3 Creative, have been featured on national platforms including TCN, Music Choice, and GAC. Her self-titled album, released in September 2021, surpassed a million streams in its first month, highlighting her growing popularity. Her original Christmas song, "Walmart Cart Christmas," released in December 2022, received over 300 spins and was played on more than 40 radio stations.

Beyond her musical accomplishments, Ashley is also recognized for her advocacy work. Diagnosed with scleroderma at age five, she was named the official celebrity ambassador for the National Scleroderma Foundation in 2021. Her role involves increasing awareness of the disease, a mission fueled by the tragic loss of her mother, Carol Barron, to systemic sclerosis in 2020. Ashley's dedication to this cause has seen her speak at leadership conferences and share her story with major donors and medical professionals, striving to bring attention to a disease that affects 300,000 Americans and currently has no cure.

Ashley Barron’s journey is a testament to her resilience and passion. As she continues to blaze her trail in the country music scene, her latest single, "Cryin' In A Bar," promises to be another hit, further solidifying her status as a powerful new voice in country-rock.
