What does it take to put on a great show? Ashly and I discuss the different ways you can draw the audience’s attention, and how she’s designing a life that she loves around music.

The first time I found out about Ashly’s band, Little Jane and the Pistol Whips, it was because my aunt thought I would like her music. Growing up in a small Montana town, it’s pretty easy for word of mouth to get around - after all, there aren’t *that* many people. But what Ashly hasn’t mentioned here, is just how engaged her audience is.

Again, and again, the people around me would be talking about Little Jane and the Pistol Whips - or they would go “hey, have you seen that Little Jane lady?” Word might get around in small towns, but not every band gets talked about that consistently.

This one of the reasons why I looked up to Ashly and her band so much over the years. Building an audience is one of the challenges that I’ve struggled with the most.

One of the things I learned from Ashly is how designing a setlist around what your audience wants to hear, and what will earn their engagement with your show is one of the most powerful ways that you can earn that word of mouth promotion.
