Ashley Allen – 1st ROAD BLOG from 2013 Australian Tour with Taylor Dayne

The New York based pop artist, Ashley Allen, is currently on an Australian tour with Taylor Dayne. While she’s on this tour she will be doing an exclusive blog for us. You can check out the first entry, after the break.

I am on the airplane to LAX right now and I have a show later at San Manuel. I am stoked but I am so exhausted. My flight was at 9 a.m. which means my dad had to pick me up at 630 a.m. My body aches so bad, super sore, not sure why. I can’t believe tour hasn’t even started yet and already I feel worn out. Not trying to complain because even if my legs were falling off I would give this tour my all. I can’t believe this is even happening. I have never wanted something so bad in my life and all of this hard work is paying off. I really hope everyone loves my music and much as I love writing and performing it. Alright… well I am going to try and get more sleep. See ya! And see you in San Manuel!

Sound check went great. Sweet and easy… nervous about my voice because it is so dry. My hair and makeup girl Nikki was great, which is a plus because no one likes to look like a clown (except maybe bozo) .. Casinos are nuts. So many rules and so strict. Honestly, really they kind of make me sad when I think about it. People sitting in a casino during the afternoon on a Thursday. On a plus note, 3000 people are expected to be here tonight! Ahhh!

Ashley Allen, Stevie B, Lisa Lisa, Expose, and Taylor Dayne gonna rock the house tonight!

P.S. I can’t believe that I am going to play on a stage that some of the most respectable artists have played on. It’s an insane feeling to have. Eeek!!

“Don’t judge me by my past because I don’t live there anymore.”

It’s 9:10 p.m. (I think) and I am exhausted. I am still definitely on New York time. The show went really well. I love sharing my music with everyone. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as I did. Unfortunately, this exhaustion is making my voice horse and this dry weather in the desert isn’t helping. I am going to sleep like a baby tonight (hopefully). Regardless, tomorrow will be eventful and fun. Can’t wait to get to Los Angeles!
