Three time Grammy-nominated Ashley Monroe will support Little Big Town on their UK Friends of Mine tour next month.
The tour includes a Manchester gig at the Bridgewater Hall. As well as the Manchester gig they will also perform in Bristol, Cambridge, Newcastle, London, Birmingham and Glasgow.
The tour comes after Ashley Monroe recently released the single Hot Rod Pipe Dream, co-written with long-time collaborator Brendan Benson. The track was co-produced by Ashley Monroe and Grammy-winner Gen Johnson.
Speaking about the track, Ashley Monroe said, “I wrote ‘Hot Rod Pipe Dream’ with Brendan Benson a few years ago, and it’s honestly one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written. We brought together all the best summer, rock n’ roll, beach boy lovin’ vibes we could muster up and turned it into a musical feeling that brought us both undeniable joy. Then we took those same vibes to the recording studio, and I couldn’t be more excited to finally release this song. It’s different from anything else I’ve ever done, but it stands out as something special to me. And of course, what’s summer without a hot rod pipe dream?”
The track follows previous releases Risen Road, I Like Trains and her late 2023 single Over Everything. Her critically-acclaimed 2021 album Rosegold picked up strong media praise and Best Album of the Year coverage.
