The Real Pretenders and the Naomi Ashley Band perform live at The Acorn.

Two pivotal albums performed in their entirety. Naomi Ashley dives into her musical influences with the Naomi Ashley Band & Real Pretenders performing Lucinda Williams’ 1996 masterpiece “Car Wheels on a Gravel Road” followed by The Pretenders 1984 classic “Learning to Crawl.”

About the Artists:

Naomi Ashley Band
With a cream-and-Kalua voice, Naomi Ashley sings songs that are intimate, plain-spoken and gorgeously sung drawing on American folk, blues and country traditions. Lyrically layered her songs surge with all the contradictory impulses of real, imperfect life. The NA Band includes Andon Davis, Jon Williams, Michael Krayniak and John Carpender with special guest Jenny Bienemann.

Real Pretenders
Real Pretenders are four Chicago music scene veterans with a passion for the hard driving rhythms, catchy melodic hooks, soul-tortured lyrics, and back alley sex appeal that characterize the music of the Pretenders. Real Pretenders aren’t simply a tribute to the music of the Pretenders, they are a tribute to their essential spirit. Real Pretenders are Naomi Ashley, Andon Davis, John Carpender and Ralph Baumel.
