ADHD, the DJ duo composed of Ashley Gorley and Jesse Frasure, made their debut last week at Stagecoach. The duo was born in 2018 when Gorley and Frasure were on the road together for Thomas Rhett’s Life Changes Tour and DJed before the country singer went on stage.

“That might have been the most fun I’ve ever had in 25 years in the music business,” Frasure shares, still on a high from Sunday’s debut. “Super grateful to be able to take our concept of a DJ set predominantly filled with hits we’ve written and debut it for the perfect EDM and Country loving crowd in Diplo’s Honkytonk at Stagecoach.

“Our love for music each began with DJing, so it’s a full circle moment to be able to remix and play the crowd new versions of the hits we’ve written,” Gorley reflects. “It’s been fun to shake things up, to challenge and fuel our creativity in a new way outside of the writing room. The energy in the tent was incredible and we had a blast. Thank you to all the fans who showed up!”
