Ashland Craft Signs With Big Loud Records

Ashland Craft has signed with Big Loud Records.

Craft is set to introduce her edgy country sound with a fresh batch of songs this year, following her Top 10 stint on NBC’s The Voice and opening slots for Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, and more. Since relocating to Nashville last year, she has won fans with her no B.S. stamp on indie releases like country girl anthem “Good Ol’ Girls,” the ode to loneliness “Your Place or Mine,” and “They Always Do.” Craft first found her honky-tonk spirit and cut her teeth singing covers in South Carolina, and counts Def Leppard, Gretchen Wilson, Chris Stapleton, Bonnie Raitt, and John Mayer among her musical influences. She is signed to Make Wake Artists for management and 50 Egg Music for publishing.

“We couldn’t be more thankful Ashland Craft chose to make Big Loud her label home,” said Seth England, Partner/CEO of Big Loud. “She is a career artist with a huge voice, and has built an amazing team already. The future is very, very bright for Ashland.”

Craft is releasing a brand new song, “Trainwreck,” that is available now digitally and at all streaming platforms. The tell-it-like-it-is ballad produced by Jonathan Singleton was penned by Randy Montana and Channing Wilson, and features backing vocals by Wilson.

“To be able to debut ‘Trainwreck,’ written by two songwriters that I admire – Randy Montana and Channing Wilson – and a song that I’ve wanted to release for a few years now, on the same day that I get to announce my record deal, is honestly surreal,” shares Craft. “Signing a record deal is always something that I dreamed about and I honestly can’t believe the day is finally here. This is the biggest milestone I’ve hit so far in my life, hands down. Everyone that I’m surrounded by – Big Loud Records, Make Wake Artists, and 50 Egg Music – they honestly are my dream team. It just makes me want to work even harder to honor all of the opportunity that I’ve been given.”
