I specialize in delivering top-notch live entertainment, tailored to meet the specific needs of any public or private event, whether you require a solo, duo, trio, or full band act. My range of services also includes session vocals, songwriting workshops, and private lessons. I am proud to be nominated for Acoustic Act of the Year (2024) and Americana Artist of the Year (2023) at the Arkansas Country Music Awards. Despite my young age of only 26, I have already amassed extensive experience performing at thousands of events, both big and small.
We loved the song Ashtyn created for Sandy for her 80th B-day. It was hilarious and heartwarming. Ashtyn truly has a skill for songwriting. She had to drive in from another state and was perfectly on time. We would DEFINITELY hire her again next time something fun like this comes up.
We worked with Ashtyn and her band on a corporate video in December '22. It was produced as a company Christmas card greeting sent to our clients and co-workers. She was absolutely fabulous to work with. We met with her in advance to explain and plan the shoot (because it wasn't a traditional 2-3 hour set). They arrived early to set up in one of our small offices and they performed the song we used in the video several times so we could get multiple takes for the video. I can't recommend her enough!
I have hired Ashtyn numerous times for gigs. She is an absolute professional - always communicative, on time and a fabulous singer/songwriter and musician! And even more importantly, our audiences always love her. I highly recommend her - she is extremely talented and a joy to work with.
Response from Ashtyn Barbaree:
Thank you so much!
It’s always pleasure working with Ashtyn Barbaree! She’s such a professional and talented musician. I especially love her crowd work and little personal details she adds between songs. I’ll definitely be booking her again!
I can't recommend Ashtyn enough. Her songwriting and performance is as good as it gets and she is a joy to work with. If you have the opportunity to work with her I highly recommend it.
Response from Ashtyn Barbaree:
Thank you so much, John!
Ashtyn’s band for our wedding ceremony and reception was the perfect choice. Their professionalism, talent and attention to detail really brought our event to another level. I highly recommend them.

I have been influenced by a wide range of past and present acts across various genres of music. Some of the most significant influences during my childhood include Johnny Cash, Patty Griffin, The White Stripes, Gillian Welch, Hank Williams, Fiona Apple, and The Beatles. I am constantly seeking out new and diverse music to inspire and challenge me as an artist. I believe that a broad range of influences allows you to create music that is approachable, yet distinct and memorable.
