No Depression - ‘Shades of Blue’ Reveals Ashley Sofia’s Full Range of Colors
Shades of Blue is a diverse document — now upbeat and poppy; now Southwestern and unexpectedly experimental; now small and intimate; now bombastic and radio-ready — and is anchored by the balance between Sofia’s respectable lyricism and instrumental fluency in almost as many subsets of folk and country as there are songs on the record.

NPR - 1A - The Sound Of Dissent: What Today’s Protest Anthems Tell Us About This Movement
“Strange Fruit.” “Fortunate Son.” “What’s Going On.” Protest songs are part of the American story. Examples include the “freedom songs” of the ’50s and the anti-war folk music of the ’60s and ’70s.
Music is also part of the current demonstrations against police brutality and racism. What protest songs, both new and old, resonate with you? What songs do you consider protest music and why?

The Vinyl District - Ashley Sofia,
The TVD First Date
“There is something so different about listening to vinyl. It requires a readiness to sit there and listen, to be present enough to flip it over to hear the other side. To give up your life for thirty or forty minutes and really think about what that artist spent all this time and effort trying to tell you. That’s how I want to experience music. I think vinyl is how music is meant to be heard: With your eyes closed, on the floor, while goosebumps blossom on your skin.”
