Cooke takes short in the dark on tour

Monday, June 26, 2023 – Ashley Cooke embarks on her first-ever headlining tour beginning on Aug. 23 in Panama City, Fla.

The shot in the dark Tour will take Cooke's pop country to 24 cities this summer and fall with Matt Schuster and Vincent Mason as support. Tickets go on sale on June 30 at 10 a.m. local time at www.ashleycooke.com.

"Putting out my debut album is already a dream in itself, but to experience the roller coaster journey of this album together in person each night is why I do what I do, and I'll cherish every moment," said Cooke. "It's an incredible opportunity to have talented artists like Matt Schuster and Vincent Mason joining me on this tour, and I'm counting down the days til I can see y'all out there.

Cooke announced last week her Big Loud Records debut comes out July 21. The CD contains 24 songs with three songs released this past Friday, including "mean girl" featuring Colbie Caillat.
