Ash Devine at 3rd Street Coffee House, Roanoke, VA

Devine is known as a true ‘folk troubadour’ because she writes, collects, and performs cross genre music based on numerous folk traditions including original Americana & indie-folk-rock, traditional Appalachian old time, contemporary folk, and international folk music. Ash has self produced two albums of original music, and is working on two more, including a traditional Appalachian and folk legacy compilation. Reminiscent of Pete Seeger, or Joan Baez, Ash weaves story, history, solidarity, and group singing experiences into performances.
In 2022, Ash was a featured songwriter at the Forbes Center for Performing Arts on NPR’s Acoustic Cafe songwriter series Songstress Sojourn which was recorded in front of a live audience. In 2015, Ash starred as Maybelle Carter of the legendary Carter Family band and musically directed the play Esley: The Life and Music of Leslie Riddle, where she closely replicated Maybelle’s iconic Carter scratch guitar style. In 2025, Ash developed and performed a new one woman show, My Home’s Across the Blue Ridge Mountains: Music of the Carter Family and Appalachian Folk Traditions which explored Appalachian song collecting traditions, and the multicultural roots found within the music of the Carter family and debuted at Port Townsend, WA’s Key City Public Theater in May, 2025.
Teaching & Community Arts in Health: Inspired by a decade of international travels with Patch Adams, M.D., Devine offers programs in the nursing care setting with people affected by Alzheimer’s and other disabilities.
