Big Loud Records’ Ashland Craft brought it home to Nashville, TN, to close out her opening run on GRAMMY Award-winning Zac Brown Band’s 2021 “THE COMEBACK TOUR” with her biggest show in town to date. Appearing at Bridgestone Arena on Sunday (10/17), she proved her “‘can’t miss’ country star on the rise” status, as hailed by CMT.
“This was my first big tour I have ever done, and I couldn’t imagine a better fit than Zac Brown Band. They took me and my crew under their wing, and were true mentors to us on the road. I am so grateful for everything they’ve taught us,” shares Craft. “Ending the tour at Bridgestone Arena was so bittersweet too, because the last time I was in that arena was the night before I auditioned for The Voice! It was very much a full circle moment for sure.”
Her 20-date run launched on August 5 at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ, with Craft performing at major city venues like Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre (Tinley Park, IL), Riverbend Music Center (Cincinnati, OH), Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater (Wantagh, NY), Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre (Denver, CO), DTE Energy Music Theatre (Clarkston, MI), and iconic Fenway Park (Boston, MA), among many others.
With a set-list full of songs from her acclaimed debut album, TRAVELIN’ KIND, like “Your Momma Still Does,” “Make It Past Georgia,” and “That’s The Kinda Place,” Craft returned to the stage later in the night for an arena-sized “Fishin' In the Dark” sing-along with Zac Brown. During her milestone show, she also lit it up and introduced to-be-released “I Smoke Weed,” out November 26. The anticipated collaboration with Brothers Osborne will be featured in the second installment of Country collaboration, HIXTAPE: Vol. 2.
