Fusing heartfelt storytelling and authenticity, Ashleigh Dallas releases her latest single, ‘Secondhand Stories’, on January 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kicking off the Tamworth Country Music Festival in style with the release of ‘Secondhand Stories’ which is also the five-time Golden Guitar winner’s headlining show at the Tamworth Town Hall on Wednesday, January 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The song, penned during a DAG Songwriting Retreat with Natasha Soonchild and Margaret Anne King, is an ode to wanderlust and the pursuit of personal experiences over living vicariously through others’ adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trio drew inspiration from Marg’s extensive travels, delving into conversations that sparked the song’s inception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This came from a morning we spent talking about what it’s like when you get out and see things,” Ashleigh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We were talking about when you have awesome experiences, we have all had someone tell us how lucky we are to experience that.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘Secondhand Stories’ encourages listeners to embrace a sense of freedom, dream big, and embark on their adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It’s all about not living your life through someone else’s pictures and Instagram posts, don’t live your life through a secondhand story; get out and do it yourself,” Ashleigh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The single aims to ignite a wanderlust spirit within its audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I’m hoping this song makes listeners dream that trip and do it,” Ashleigh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“When I hear this song, I want to be in a car driving. I hope it becomes a soundtrack for our listeners as they do these trips.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Entering a new chapter after turning 30, Ashleigh believes ‘Secondhand Stories’ marks a pivotal moment in her career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I feel like I’ve really found my grounding and who I am,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I feel like ‘Secondhand Stories’ is the start of not holding back and delving further into pushing boundaries and going past my comfort zone.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an artist committed to growth and evolution, Ashleigh sees this single as her personal anthem, empowering her to push boundaries and embrace new lyrical content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I hope this song will give me the confidence to follow my own lyrical content and push the boundaries and live life to the fullest,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘Secondhand Stories’ is the title track of Ashleigh’s upcoming album, set to grace the airwaves in late 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
