AMP SESSIONS "Back in Manitoba"
Born and raised in Winnipeg, Ashley Robertson is a hard-working singer/songwriter with an impressive amount of acclaim for her brand of genre-bending country music. Two-time winner of the European CMA Female Vocalist title, she has released three albums, and performed at events such as Canadian Music Week, Country Music Week, Folk Alliance International, The CMA Music Festival, and the Key West Songwriter's Festival. She also received several nominations in the 2015 and 2016 Manitoba Country Music Awards, taking home the award for Aboriginal Artist of the Year in 2016. In between touring she is prepping her fourth studio album for release, a collection recorded in Nashville that offers brand new music, previously unreleased material, and special releases such as "Back in Manitoba" and "How Are You My Love", a single previously released on the compilation album We Canada Walk in order to raise awareness about Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women.
