PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Award winning actress and comedian Lauren Ash is proving that she’s a triple threat by adding music to the mix.<\/p>\n
Ash is taking her first-ever tour on the road, and making a stop right here in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
“I started this whole project as like a gift to my younger self, because my dream was always to be a rock star,” says Ash.<\/p>\n
Ash is best known for roles in shows like ABC’s “Not Dead Yet”.<\/p>\n
She says it was a moment at her 40th birthday that sparked her next big move.<\/p>\n
“I wanted to live this dream, so I hired a band,” she says. “I put on this concert, and it was the best night of my life. I was like, ‘Why am I not just doing this?’ And so that’s kind of what started the whole wild ride.”<\/p>\n
Ash hit the recording studio and released a debut pop-punk album called “Call Me When You Get This”.<\/p>\n
“It’s a steam locomotive,” she says. “It’s a fast train that I’m on now, and I can’t get off. That’s the joy, and also rub, of this whole thing. It’s become bigger than me at this point.”<\/p>\n
And now, she’s taking her high octane tour to seven cities across the country, including Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
She says if you’re heading out to one of her shows, buckle up!<\/p>\n
“There’s loud guitar and a pop punk, kind of nostalgic feeling, early 2000s music,” she says. “We go hard.”<\/p>\n
“You’re not just coming for a music show. You’re coming for a whole piece of theater, as far as I’m concerned. It’s so fun.”<\/p>\n
Lauren Ash is bringing her “Call Me When You Get This” tour to Kung Fu Necktie in Fishtown on October 15th.<\/p>\n
