Singer-songwriter Naomi Ashley’s songs are intimate, plain-spoken and gorgeously sung, surging with all the contradictory impulses of real, imperfect life. Known for fronting Chicago’s popular Pretenders tribute Real Pretenders, Naomi is appearing with her “Other Band”, seasoned veterans of the Chicago music scene: Jon Williams (guitar), Josh Piet (bass) & Jason Batchko (drums). The band greedily grabs from every corner of Americana – grounding the charm of Naomi’s versatile lyrical style in country, blues, folk and rock. Together they recently released the album “Love Bug” in 2024.
