Inspired by the mountains and prairies of Montana, from the winding passes to lonely dusty roads, The Long Road Ahead is a love letter to Montana. The thoughtful songs tell stories about life at a crossroads, sadness, hope and renewal, inviting the listener into haunting lyrics.

Songs ‘Call a Rat a Rat’ and ‘Lost to the Trade’ pay homage to blue collar life and union workers.
“There is a labor union feel to my new album because my husband is in the IBEW, and I was inspired by his stories, the work, the lingo, and the losses,” explains lead singer-songwriter Ashly Jane Holland. While inspired by linework, the album is a nod to all the trades and the daily sacrifices that the workers make. There is a reason the union labor is called ‘America’s labor force,’ and I hope I captured some of that.” 

Little Jane and The Pistol Whips is bringing their toe-tapping blend of Americana/Country and Newgrass to the popular Music on the Green event at the Bozeman Public Library Sunday, August 11th from 5 - 7 p.m.

Held on the Library’s front lawn, this fun, family-friendly event is a perfect way to spend a Sunday evening, listening to music outside in a mellow downtown environment. Invite your family and friends, bring a blanket or chairs, and get ready to dance! This event is free and open to the public.
Based out of Bozeman, Little Jane has spent the past year promoting their new album, Long Road Ahead. The songs ‘Montana Can’t You See’ and ‘Little Gold Heart’ became popular with Americana and Indie radio across the country.  

Long Road Ahead is a catchy record, with multiple tunes that will sit on repeat in your mind. This is also picking-party music, where old-time Bluegrass rubs elbows with back country Cajun, thanks to the dancing fiddle that is the support star of the show,” says The Alternate Root’s Bryant Liggett.
Lead singer-songwriter Ashly ‘Little Jane’ Holland is thrilled to perform at the Bozeman Public Library, which has long been a gathering place for the community. “It will be a fun concert, and I hope everyone can come!”   

       “Long Road Ahead is one of the best albums I’ve heard in a very long time!  It’s no wonder, with the line-up of some of Montana’s best and favorite musicians on this recording. This CD is absolutely fresh and alive with energy and honesty. What a joy to listen to!  Everybody shines bright… the sound capture is a credit to fine work by a smart sound recording crew…Bottom line: Ashly, your voice is unique, memorable and clearly beautiful.” - Erik Funk
