Asa Menlove 𓆟

Reaaaal excited to announce that my debut LP “Country Western Hero” will be available everywhere on May 9!! I’ve had a lot of fun making this album and writing these songs and it feels real swell to be able to stamp a release date on it. Heaping thank you to @screebus3000 for playing slide on Greens, to @hazeyinadazey for taking these bitchin photos, to @elsaritto , @evelyn.carroll , @aleutia.morris , @lindsey_3632 , @mac8416 and Hazel again for letting me record in their shed, and to all my dear friends for their words of encouragement throughout this whole process. If you’re into poorly produced derivative outlaw country or dreamscape psychfolk or nonsense songs about ants then you’re gonna fuckin love it! Also! I’ve got a new single “The Night I Gave My Soul For Country Music” out right now. This one’s suuuuper derivative. #countrywesternhero

“Country Western Hero” is out now everywhere! Come see me play in a backyard tomorrow (5/10) and at Ramble Tamble next Thursday (5/16)! Thanks y’all❤️

Real fired up to be playing some live damn country music with The Family Band at this year’s Idaho River Rendezvous!!! It’s long been a dream of mine to get to play music for my friends in the greatest towns in the West and I’m so stoked that it’s coming to fruition. Thank you to everyone at @redsidefoundation for bringing me in!! Eternally grateful to y’all for a multitude of reasons and now I have one more. There’s a link in my bio for tickets! Come support and celebrate the health and strength of Idaho’s guiding communities, eat good food, drink good drink, and kick off river season with us! As always, art by @benbinghaman 🐎

During @treefortfest this last week, we caught up with some artists playing the @sawtoothvalleygathering showcase @modernhotel . We asked @lena_rich and @degrootjoncarl if they’d want to play a few tunes with @sculpdog , thought they’d sound good together. It was put together quickly but think it turned out sweet. Here they are playing Asa’s tune, “Long on Dreams” and Lena’s tune, “Emerald City”. Full video at the link in bio!
