Ashleigh Dallas is a five-time Golden Guitar winner who has released five studio albums, winning the Golden Guitar for Traditional Country Album of the Year for her latest album, In the Moment. She is also an ambassador for the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.
Dallas’s latest single is ‘Secondhand Stories’, which was written during a DAG Songwriting Retreat with Natasha Soonchild and Margaret Anne King. ‘This came from a morning we spent talking about what it’s like when you get out and see things,’ says Dallas. ‘We were talking about when you have awesome experiences, we have all had someone tell us how lucky we are to experience that.
‘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.’
I’ve interviewed Dallas several times, and our chats tend to be long because there’s always a lot to chat about! And it’s always interesting and inspiring, because she can’t help but be those things. So settle in for lots of heart, humour and insight from this talented Tamworth native. You can watch our chat on YouTube (below) or listen on the podcast.
