NashvilleHype! is proud to announce that Ashlee Hewitt is now an official contestant on Season Six of Nashville Star!
If you’re a long time reader of NashvilleHype! you’re already plenty familiar with Ashlee Hewitt. I’ve had Ashlee (and her sister Katrice!) on NashvilleHype! since November of 2007.
I’ve told you where they were performing, when they were performing, and why I thought Ashlee and Katrice were going to be BIG Stars. Ashlee and Katrice came out and helped us raise money for the Red Cross back in February - and put on a great show as always. Ashlee and her whole family has been a good friend to me personally and NashvilleHype!.
And now GREAT NEWS!
NashvilleHype! is proud to announce that Ashlee Hewitt is now an official contestant on Season Six of Nashville Star! She’s made it all the way to the final 12 - beating out thousands and thousands of contestants throughout America.

This is a really big year for Nashville Star as it will be broadcast on NBC Monday nights at 9/8c. It’s host this year is Billy Ray Cyrus - and judges are Jewel, John Rich (of Big & Rich), and hit country songwriter Jeffrey Steele.
What you’re going to read about Ashlee Hewitt everywhere else is, she was raised in a very large family as one of 13 brothers and sisters. She grew up on a farm in northern Minnesota. She loves horses, etc. etc. They may even mention how her father Jim was called to Iraq fora year in service to our country (NashvilleHype! sends a special hello to Jim and all our Troops overseas and wants to let you know you’re in our thoughts and prayers!)
What you may not read is, Ashlee isn’t a very good bowler. She can at once be outgoing and shy. She can pierce you with her eyes and melt you with her smile. She’s sweet and funny and personable - - all the qualities we hope come across on a TV show like Nashville Star. TV as you well know, is different. We can only hope.

You also may not know that Ashlee has worked her butt off to get to this point. NashvilleHype! doesn’t have anything against random people showing up to be a part of a contest - but we really place a lot of emphasis on working hard, playing shows, meeting fans, keeping them happy, having a unique sound/vocal quality, etc. – you know the drill by now - - and Ashlee Hewitt passes all of these qualifications with flying colors. After all, together with her sister Katrice, she traveled all over the country performing nearly 100 shows a year for 6 years — before coming to Nashville to “make it”.
And something else? NashvilleHype! may have been the first to bring her to our readers attention, but we’re not alone in saying she’s going to be a huge star. I’ve had many conversations with executives, producers, managers, etc - and it’s all but universal - Ashlee Hewitt IS a Nashville Star (and I love it that the winner gets a contract with Warner Bros!). Oh, I failed to mention, the winner gets a recording contract on Warner Bros. Records.
Obviously NashvilleHype! is behind Ashlee 100% on Nashville Star. I will tell you now, we WILL be biased - not that we have anything against the other artists performing on the show - but we’ve long said how deserving Ashlee is and we want her to win! We want to convince as many people as possible to vote for her each and every week!
