Prepare to be blown away by Asher White's latest musical endeavor! In a bold move, Asher has taken her love for Jessica Pratt's music to a whole new level by releasing a full-album cover of Pratt's iconic self-titled debut album from 2012. And the best part? Jessica Pratt herself is loving it!
In a recent press release, Pratt expressed her surprise and admiration for White's unique interpretations, calling it "a broad sweep stylistically and production-wise. Not just homage, but a record in its own right." But here's where it gets even more exciting - this album release also comes with the announcement of a tour for Asher White!
Now, let's dive into the details. Asher White, a talented musician with a diverse skill set, has put her own creative spin on each song while mastering an impressive array of instruments. From vocals to electric and acoustic guitar, banjo, bass, drums, and even programming, White showcases her versatility. And she's not alone on this musical journey; Bee Clark joins her on vocals for "Casper," and Lila Lifton adds a touch of magic with her violin on "Midnight Wheels."
This covers LP follows White's previous album, "8 Tips for Full Catastrophe Living," released in 2025. But what inspired this latest project? White discovered Jessica Pratt's debut near the end of 2021, just before her 21st birthday, and it quickly became a beloved staple in her musical repertoire. In her own words, "At some point, it became one of those records I'd listened to so many times that I would find myself unconsciously singing phantom harmonies alongside it..."
And this is the part most people miss - the power of music to inspire and transform. White's decision to cover the entire album stems from her deep connection to the music and her desire to bring her imaginative arrangements to life.
"My ability to hastily fashion together a working album from these songs is a testament to the music's enduring power, its simplicity, and its sense of inevitability," she explains.
This May, Asher White will embark on a headlining tour of the west coast, bringing her unique interpretations to life on stage. The tour will take her to San Diego, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, and more. But before that, she'll be performing in Brooklyn on April 28th.
So, music lovers, mark your calendars and get ready for a musical experience like no other! And don't forget to check out the full tour schedule and listen to the cover album below.
