Dynamic country singer and songwriter Ashley Wineland is on a quick ascend. The powerhouse vocalist’s combination of electrifying stage presence and immersive storytelling has enabled her to carve her own unique trail as an independent artist with nearly a million fans engaged online. Because of her relentless work ethic, Ashley is an artist in full control of her career’s destiny, and her accolades achieved to date underscore just that. The Arizona-based artist has also taken the reins as her own booking agent, landing 60+ headlining shows across the country and spots on multiple festival and fair stages. Now working with Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum producer, songwriter, and musician Marti Frederiksen — known for hits like “Mama’s Song” (Carrie Underwood) and “Dreamer” (Ozzy Osbourne) — Ashley is entering 2025 with more new music, including her most recent release, “Tumbleweed” (Sept 2024). The song’s music video has garnered over 1.3 million views while the track itself highlights Marti and Ashley’s creative chemistry. “Marti and I have had nothing but pure magic come out of the studio,” Ashley exclaims. She’s particularly excited about “Loving You Is Easy,” her first co-write with Marti due out later this year, calling it a fresh direction with new sounds and themes. Ashley’s upcoming music continues to reflect her evolution, ranging from fun and sassy to deeply heartfelt. Ashley Wineland’s arena-ready vocals and energetic performances have already drawn early comparisons to country icons like Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, and Gretchen Wilson — and she’s excited to hit the road for her 2025 “Moments in Time” Tour, bringing her music and live performances to the fans across the country she’s dedicated herself to. With the experience of opening for artists like Lainey Wilson, John Michael Montgomery, and Sawyer Brown, Ashley absorbed invaluable lessons in professionalism and the power of connecting with her audience. “The tour is when I get to take the duct tape off and shout to the world about all the cool things my team and I have been developing,” she says. As Ashley continues to break barriers and spread joy through her music, she’s quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with in country music. As an independent artist, Ashley values the connection she is able to share with her fans, whom she calls the “Winelanders.” “Nothing I do would be possible without their support,” she says. Their encouragement keeps her going, especially on tough days. Rooted in the rugged beauty of the western Arizona desert, Ashley’s music showcases the unique cowboy culture of her home state. “Many people don’t realize how western Arizona is,” she says. “Cowboy culture is so strong here, and being surrounded by ranchers and farmers has brought about many events and stories that influence my music.” Since bursting onto the scene as a teen, Ashley’s music journey began with a chance demo recording of cover songs that introduced her to key industry figures. That pivotal moment set the stage for her debut album Family Business and launched her career as a dynamic live performer. Her passion for the stage has fueled standout moments in her career — including a high-energy 90-minute set at Ak-Chin Pavilion, where she opened for Aaron Lewis and Eddie Montgomery at a special Veterans Day event. “It was a massive moment for me, playing for an audience of veterans,” she reflects. Her commitment to veterans is also integral to her mission. “I have so many loved ones who are veterans, and it drives me to want better for them,” Ashley says. Through her music, she has raised funds for veterans’ charities and worked to raise awareness for their struggles. As Ashley Wineland gears up for her “Moments in Time” Tour and a wave of new music in 2025, she shows no signs of slowing down. Whether she’s lighting up the stage, cutting tracks in the studio, or engaging fans online, Ashley continues to build unstoppable momentum — proving you don’t need a major label to make major moves. Armed with authenticity, ambition, and a powerhouse live band, Ashley is blazing her own trail and making it look effortless.
