Ashliegh Still, a much sought after a Minneapolis singer is often referred to as "the Eva Cassidy of Minnesota." Her soul and stunning voice comes from a deep place informed by her hardscrabble experience as a gospel-trained, minister's daughter and now single mother of two. And although her publicity photos could grace the cover of "Bust" or "Glamour,"  etc., beyond her outer beauty is the wisdom that comes from the day- to-day struggle of making a living for her and her kids. There is an inner flame that burns brightly and has something to say; something about what it's like to be a woman trying to dig out from the conformity of society, religion, and family. In that sense, Ashleigh also reminds us of Anne Sexton and Billie Holiday.
