Episode Description

Ashley Cooke joins Downtown Country backstage at C2C as she steps up to the main stage for the first time — and talks Belfast, Guinness plans, and why she’s ready to properly see the city this time. She spills on a very special London writers’ round with Keith Urban (yes, acoustic… and harmonising on her song), plus the country “family” who’ve had her back along the way — from Carly Pearce to Kelsea Ballerini and Jordan Davis. Ashley also opens up about a rough year behind the scenes — family illness, loss and heartbreak — and how those moments shaped her latest project, ACE, with a brand new song getting its first outing tonight.
