Opening for Eileen will be Lawrence, KS native, Ashley Davis. A graduate of the University of Limerick’s World Music Centre, Ashley writes music that lives between continents and speaks to two national traditions. Between her background in American roots and love of Celtic folk, Davis possesses a unique talent for conjoining ancient history with modern, intercultural interpretation. As a performer moving between Nashville, New York, the west of Ireland and even the Isle of Man, where she served as artist-in-residence in 2006, Ashley has always applied her distinct Great Plains perspective to a range of genres and cultures, forging songs out of the moment when different minds and backgrounds meet.
