As a gifted singer-songwriter-storyteller with a homespun personality, angelic voice and irreverent humor, Asetha's soul seems to have descended from the likes of Dolly, Emmylou, Alison Krauss, Jewel, Stevie Nicks and Miranda Lambert.
Her sweet and sassy brand of Country Eastern beautifully blends the sounds of classic country with nostalgic east coast charm. As Asetha puts it, "I was raised on Old Country and Jesus in Newfoundland. I'm a Country Eastern Singer writing songs about everyday life and how my faith gets me through".
Born, branded and living in Newfoundland, Asetha writes of how her roots have given her resiliency through a quick succession of devastation and change.
From 2010 to 2016, Asetha lost her health and career, got married, lost her mom to Cancer, birthed her angel baby at four months, lost her dad to early-onset Alzheimer's, delivered two healthy baby boys, lost her marriage then contracted a new home. Despite the profound losses she has experienced, and the challenges in regaining her footing as a single mom, Asetha found strength, surrender and solace in her faith.
Through complex grief, chronic depression, severe physical pain, and survival stress, Asetha has emerged grateful, grounded and at peace. 13 years after the release of her debut album "Child of Rhyme", for which she received extensive and extended play on CBC Radio and VOCM in Newfoundland, Asetha returned to writing, performing and recording music.
In October 2020, Asetha released her sophomore album in response to a devoted following on Facebook that adore her video posts of classic country covers and country eastern originals, during which she often shares raw, honest and quirky stories about her life.
"Simple Things, Guts and Dreams"is a collection of 12 original songs for which she has received local airplay on K-Rock and VOCM and a nomination for Inspirational Artist of The Year for MusicNL. Given her prolific and proficient songwriting abilities, it seems that Newfoundland's own Classic Country Eastern Asetha is just getting started and perfectly poised to reach many more hearts with her soulful songs and stories.
