Biography

Ashley Dawn as Lainey Wilson Tribute Artist 

Ashley Dawn as Lainey Wilson is a tribute performance that brings the heart of country music to life. As a powerful vocalist with decades of experience, Ashley perfectly channels the voice and charisma of country star Lainey Wilson on the Legends in Concert stage in Branson, Missouri.

Ashley grew up in the Ozarks, surrounded by the rich traditions of country, bluegrass, and southern gospel music. She began singing in church at just six years old, nurtured by a musical family that shaped her sound and confidence. At 17, she signed a recording contract in Nashville and hit the road with her siblings in the acclaimed southern gospel group, The Praters, performing more than 200 shows each year across the country.

After stepping away to focus on family, Ashley reignited her music career in 2017 with renewed energy. She was soon named lead vocalist for the 135th Army Band’s Aftershock ensemble and later joined the cast of Branson’s Famous Baldknobbers—the show that started it all in Branson’s live music scene.

In 2022, her hard work and standout vocals were recognized when she received Female Vocalist of the Year at the Branson Terry Music Awards. She has also performed the National Anthem at the PBR Rodeo for three years in a row, earning praise for her stirring performances.

Now, Ashley brings her talents to the Legends in Concert Branson stage, honoring Lainey Wilson with stunning authenticity. Her tribute captures the heartfelt lyrics, Southern flair, and vocal firepower that have made Lainey a breakout country star.

When she’s not on stage, Ashley enjoys performing with her daughter, Lakoda, continuing her family’s musical legacy and inspiring the next generation of artists.
