Ashley & Andrea have been playing together and touring across the world with various projects and are thrilled to have creatively collided with The Wildcards. With support from American Songwriter & CMT for their “Bar Room Sessions” collection, The Wildcards are excited to release the next installment: “Can’t Help Who You Love,” a gorgeous ballad penned by Ashley Gearing, Matt Alderman and Jen Denmark.
