Ash Ruder

Buckle up! Ash Ruder is taking you on an endless 1970s West Coast road trip: sun-kissed skin, top-down, a winding canyon, the coastal breeze, sunny and 75 degrees. She’s a touch of twang, a whole lot of heart, and gives a taste of the world through her sepia-colored glasses.

The California-raised songstress moved from the sunny city of Los Angeles to the southern city of Nashville, Tennessee a few years back after her time spent competing on ABC’s American Idol. Since then, she has been in studios writing for many of country and pop music’s highest-regarded artists while also making her own debut record – set to release very soon! Her first single, The Valley, out August 2nd.
