Ashley Kutcher @ Eastside Bowl

Ashley Kutcher put on one hell of a show at Eastside Bowl in Nashville, TN on May 16, 2024. Joining her for this glorious evening was Braden Bales & Dead Like Disco.

Dead Like Disco

Braden Bales

Braden Bales is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and producer. He combines raw and revealing lyrics with crafty beats and earworm melodies peppered with subtle electronics. In 2021, the Oakville, Ontario native started channeling the lowlights of his late teens into therapeutic indie pop songs like “Perrier,” Evil Aphrodite,” and “Blow My Brains.” He teamed up with Kathryn Engel on the heartfelt “I Found Your Sweatshirt” the following year, and he kicked off 2023 with the massive streaming hit “Chronically Cautious,” which resulted in a record deal with Geffen. Bales touched on themes of overcoming anxiety and stress on the motivating “Pick Me Up,” his first single for the label, which appeared later that year.

Ashley Kutcher

Ashley Kutcher specializes in a relatable blend of confessional storytelling and hook-driven electro pop. The Baltimore pop sensation had just completed her nursing degree when her single “Love You from a Distance” became a streaming hit. The social media star had already developed a sizeable online fan base with early singles “Lust” and “Hands to Myself.” The arrival and explosive response to “Love You from a Distance” earned her a record deal with Interscope imprint Darkroom, which released her debut EP, One Eighty, in 2021. She capitalized on her breakout year in 2022 with the arrival of her sophomore EP, Survive My Own Mind, which tackled themes of heartache and mental health. Kutcher stayed busy in 2023, releasing a string of streaming hits including “Boy from Carolina” and “Matchbox.”
