Ashley Smith & The Random Occurrence

Tampa, Florida based Ashley Smith & The Random Occurrence (ASTRO) Dearest reader, listener, inquirer, and friend,

Thank you for your interest! This music is me.

Some have said this music is a bit bluesy pop folk, others have opined it is old soul with an indie feel. To all of the above, I say YES. This music is a bit of everything I love from jazz to blues, funk to folk. As far back as I can remember, sounds would mesmerize me. As a short haired girl freckled from head to toe, I would sit in the kitchen for hours just singing along with the constant hum o

Limbo (Lim•bō): the in-between state in which a creative idea or piece of art floats in time and space until it is captured and expressed by an artist who brings it to light.

Our live album has OFFICIALLY been released and we are beyond excited to have this momentous show encapsulated in time forever.

A lot of sweat, blood, and tears went into putting this show together… so many of our friends and fellow musicians came together to make this project what it was. Without each integral part with each and every one of you, it wouldn’t be the artful piece that it became. So all the ‘thank yous’ in the world will never truly hold the incredible gratitude we feel for your involvement.

To Frankie Vandeboe for believing in us enough to make this entire show possible.

To Ryan James for taking our stage design ideas and bringing them to life in a more magical and intimate way than we ever could have imagined.

To Kyle Schroeder for taking our songs to new heights with his incredible saxophone sorcery.

To Sammi Fousek for elevating every song so effortlessly with her incredible vocals and radiant feminine energy.

To Jordan Garno for double fi***ng keys and guitar on stage to fill each song with the hauntingly beautiful layers that we didn’t even know we needed until they were there.

To Dwight Mathis II and his team for capturing this night and locking it into time and space for us forever, with his expertly executed vision and countless hours of editing and perfecting.

To Vinny Svoboda for recording, mixing, and mastering the live audio with an insane meticulousness that only his wizard ears could hear. (And for omitting all 10,000 of my “I love yous” from the mix 😂)

To our sponsors for providing us the creative freedoms to make this show everything we dreamed it could be. Ryan Greenacre Courtney Poe Holmes Frank Albert Realty & Horus Construct & Virtual Business Services

To my beautiful cousin Carlye Starr for making my dress dreams come true! You are a true artist.

To Katie Talbert for the badass shots she captured during the show and for her constant love and support of local musicians in our community.

To Bobby Kady for being my best friend and biggest cheerleader (and for NAILING that grand finale confetti blast!) You and Sarah Piazza are the hidden OG members of ASTRO that help bring everything to life behind the scenes. The unsung heroes.

To the entire Straz Center, Ferguson Hall - crew for the countless emails, meetings, walk throughs and hospitality in hosting our show at their wonderfully welcoming theatre.

To my incredible band John Soler, David Diaz Bryan Smith Nick Ewing Andrew Kilmartin for their unmatched friendships, loyalty, and love of the music. The endless hours of structuring and restructuring each of these songs as we bring them to life. To pouring their hearts into this collaborative project. You are the band family I’ve always dreamed of and I cherish each and every one of you for individually bringing exactly what this band needs to magically create music and art out of thin air.

To Kristopher James and Josh Higgins for being the local legends that they are and setting the bar and tone for the evening with their insanely hypnotic sound waves.

Saving the best for last… to my dad, Robert T. Smith for his constant love and encouragement. You are the absolute best dad a girl (and a band) could ask for and I am the luckiest daughter in the world that you are mine (ours). And to my Mom, after all these years you still inspire me to pull from the depths of myself in every single song that I sing. This whole show was built around love, loss, and living the fullest life we can with the time we are given. Thank you for reminding me that each day is a gift.

Our live album is streaming on all major platforms! Hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed playing it ❤️

Since yesterday, members of our creative community have come together to show up for arts and culture education in our local ecosystem. Every song, every moment, every dollar, every experience, is being used to advocate for a more musical future in Instruments 4 Life. Support from people who care about that is priceless and we thank you!
Continue to join us as we raise spirits and awareness around art in our children's lives and the future of our Renaissance!
This wouldn't be possible without the incredible venue and leadership that is Crowbar and the folks at Power Bottom Productions!

Wowww. Yesterday marked the 6 year anniversary of our bands FIRST SHOW EVER in Seminole Heights at the old Red Star Rock Bar (that doesn’t even exist anymore btw).

So grateful for the incredibly beautiful musical journey we’ve all been on together. The experiences, memories, and friendships we’ve made along the way… all the while for an incredible cause.

Sending so much love out to our ASTRO fam and to all the friends, family, and fans who have been there from the very start.. as well as the incredible musicians who’ve shared the stage with us along the way. Cheers to you! ❤️
