Ashley wins Song Award with Original FemaleArtist Luminary's, "To the Moon & Back" Takes Top Honor
Grapevine, Texas: With the applause from her knock-'em-dead performance at the 23rd Annual Grapefest Wine Festival having barely died down,Ashley snagged first place in a local radio station's music award contest. The Keller, Texas native won Hoss (aka Don Cudd) the Boss's Hossey Music Award Song Voting Contest Saturday, September 26, by an astonishing vote margin.

An attractive, talented, singer/songwriter, Ashley's gritty, brooding lyrics are a perfect compliment to the elegant upbeat desperation you feel from her music in the spirited love ballad that won the contest, "To the Moon and Back." And it's no wonder she took first place! The same commanding presence that brought such an eye-popping, jaw dropping hour and a-half performance at the festival, has found it's way into the studio and onto her CD.

"It is completely amazing being up on a big stage, connecting with the fans and hearing them singing back," says Ashley. "Music is my life and I can't think of anything better." You know that's a fact when a young woman is sacrificing social activities, and sleep to produce her inaugural CD. Due out shortly, the highly anticipated recording is buoyant mix of Adult Contemporary and Pop/Rock filled with the same distinct class and grace that makes Ashley Austin and her music hit you like a force of nature!
