Big Loud Records’ spitfire Ashland Craft is stealing back the night – and her tips – in her first-ever music video for brand-new love-drunk single, “Two Wildflowers and a Box of Wine.” Available today (11/20) at all streaming platforms and digital retailers,
Escaping the everyday grind of life, Craft raises a Dixie cup to a starlit adventure for two wild-at-heart lovers: “You drive and I’ll draw hearts on the window / til we find what money can’t buy.” Produced by Joey Moi and co-produced by Jonathan Singleton, the carefree tune buzzes under the influence of her Southern Rock inspirations. “There’s a New Country Badass in Town, and Her Name is Ashland Craft,” hails American Songwriter. The “sultry country come-on that thrives on the sound of Craft’s sexy growl” (American Songwriter) was penned by Craft, Rob Snyder, and Singleton.
“I felt like I could see the music video in my head before we even began writing it,” shares Craft. “‘Two Wildflowers and a Box of Wine’ is a song about slowing down and getting away. We wanted to paint a picture of two people who need nothing more than a star-littered sky, a couple of Dixie cups, a cheap box of wine, and time alone together to make everything in the world feel right.”
Continuing the celebration of her release, Craft will host a livestream today (11/20) at 2 p.m. CT on her Instagram and Facebook accounts. Sponsored by Budweiser, she’ll be performing in support of her chosen charity, Hero Hunt, with 100% of proceeds donated.
Named Texas Roadhouse’s “Artist of the Month” for December, the rising Country artist’s “Two Wildflowers and a Box of Wine” will be playing on Texas Roadhouse Jukeboxes in over 500 locations nationwide and on the restaurants’ Jukebox James Spotify playlist.

With MusicRow praising, “There’s no denying her smoldering, sultry voice,” and claiming, “She sounds like a star,” on her breakout track “Trainwreck,” Craft’s powerhouse vocals are demanding critics attention with American Songwriter further spotlighting her among Uncovering Acts, applauding, “We can’t keep away. And Craft knows it.” She also recently turned heads on knockout duet, “SO CLOSE,” as featured on labelmate HARDY’s acclaimed debut album, A ROCK. Watch a live performance of “SO CLOSE” here.
Emerging as one of the most exciting new voices in the genre, Craft is rolling out her own brand of edgy Country music, after a Top 10 stint on NBC’s The Voice and opening tour slots for major artists like Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, and more. Since relocating to Nashville, TN, last year, she has won fans with her no B.S. stamp on independent releases like Country girl anthem “Good Ol’ Girls,” the cleverly-constructed ode to loneliness “Your Place or Mine,” and clear-eyed ballad “They Always Do.” A true, lifelong music lover, she discovered her honky-tonk spirit and cut her teeth singing Country and Rock covers at a hometown bar in South Carolina, and counts Def Leppard, Gretchen Wilson, Chris Stapleton, Bonnie Raitt, and John Mayer, among her eclectic musical heroes. Craft is signed to Make Wake Artists for management and 50 Egg Music for publishing.
