Ashleigh Mannix Plays Tilley's

Wed 17th Jun, 2009 in Local News

Giving up a career in primary school teaching, Ashleigh Mannix took the path of a lifetime. With connections at surf company Billabong, she was able to get a sponsorship lined up as a “lifestyle Musician” to not only represent the company but to build her career in music.
“It was a family connection with Billabong surfer Dean Bowen that really gave me my start.” She says.

Writing her own songs, and proving herself in the world of music, Ashleigh has managed to be flown around the world performing at many major events such as Peatsridge and Woodford here in Australia, Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, Hawaii, Hollywood and Europe.

With both parents on board, the Canberra based artist is well looked after, having grown up both in Canberra and the South Coast, Ash developed a somewhat coastal style, not only in attire but also in mindset. Showing a relaxed yet heartfelt nature, she is able to capture her audience with her soothing sounds.

Performing alongside musicians such as Ron Sexsmith, Lior, Neil Finn, Powder Finger and of course the pop kings, MGMT at the Spider Club in Hollywood, Mannix has grown to become a well known and independent artist in her own right. Her latest release Sparkle, due to be released within the coming months, will be featured during the show, including her most popular song Pieces of you.

There is only one way to know for sure whether you agree with the rest of the music world, but Ashleigh Mannix is coming to town to share some love, life and music with you all. So come on down, kick back, and let the music take you somewhere far, far away.
