Last night Don and I went to the club 3rd and Lindsley, located at, you guessed it, 3rd & Lindsley, downtown. Ashley Cleveland was playing. There is very little music that Don and I both like, but Ashley Cleveland fits the bill, so we try to see her whenever we can when she is playing locally.-
Her music is mostly rock-style with Christian lyrics. My favorite CD of hers, "Men and Angels Say," is old hymns that she has recorded in her own style.
Her gritty voice is very unique and intriguing. You can hear a sample of it on her website. One of her trademarks is playing on colorful guitars (purple, green, etc.). She has a great sense of humor too. Her husband, Kenny Greenberg (hard to see but on the far left in the picture above),
plays guitar for her and is also full of antics onstage.-
Don went up afterward and had her autograph a CD of hers that he brought in. She was very friendly to him and all of her other fans. Even though I’m not big into nightclubs, it was a fun evening for both of us.
