Prepare to be blown away by the incredible talent of Asher White, who has taken her love for Jessica Pratt's music to a whole new level! In a bold move, Asher has released a full-album cover of Jessica Pratt's self-titled debut album, and it's a masterpiece that has left both the original artist and fans in awe.
Jessica Pratt herself couldn't help but gush about Asher's unique take on her songs, calling it "a broad sweep stylistically and production-wise. Not just homage, but a record in its own right." And she's right! Asher's interpretations are inventive and surprising, showcasing her incredible musical versatility.
But here's where it gets even more impressive: Asher tackled over a dozen instruments to create these covers, from vocals to guitar, banjo, and even programming. She even brought in some special guests, with Bee Clark joining on vocals and Lila Lifton adding violin magic. It's a true collaborative effort that showcases the power of music and the talent of these artists.
And this is the part most people miss: Asher's journey with Jessica Pratt's music is a beautiful story of discovery and inspiration. She stumbled upon the album near the end of 2021, just before her 21st birthday, and it quickly became a soundtrack to her life. Asher's words about the album's impact are truly touching: "This is to say: my ability to hastily fashion together a working album from these songs is a testament to the music's enduring power, its durability and pliability, its simplicity and sense of inevitability, and also just how much it has meant to me in my life."
Now, Asher is taking her talent on the road! She'll be embarking on a headlining tour of the west coast this May, with stops in San Diego, Los Angeles, Portland, and more. But before that, she'll be performing in Brooklyn on April 28th. Don't miss out on the chance to witness this incredible talent live!
