Ashe brings The Girl of Your Dreams to House of Blues Dallas

Her first Dallas show since 2023 lands Saturday, Feb. 20, early in the tour for a brand-new Atlantic album, with Claire Rosinkranz opening.

The last time Ashe played Dallas, it was May 14, 2023, at The Bomb Factory. She has a new album out now, a new label behind her and a Saturday night in February on the books.

Ashe plays House of Blues Dallas on Saturday, Feb. 20, 2027, at 7 p.m., with Claire Rosinkranz opening. Tickets are on Ticketmaster; the date was announced Oct. 22 as part of The Girl of Your Dreams Tour. House of Blues holds about 2,500, so this is a full-sized pop night, just on a weekend instead of a school night.

The reason for the tour came out last month. The Girl of Your Dreams, released Oct. 16, is Ashe's fourth studio album and her first on Atlantic Records, according to her discography. It reunites her with producer Noah Conrad, who co-wrote "Moral of the Story," the song most people still know her by. The record runs 11 songs, among them "Lasso the Moon," "Swan Lake," the title track and a closer called "Funeral." Lead single "Stop the Wedding!" gave her a new career-best chart peak, topping the No. 31 high of "Moral of the Story."

Official Charts' track-by-track with her sums up the subject matter as friendship drama, finding love and funerals, which is about as good a one-line description of an Ashe record as anyone has managed. Those three themes are a lot to carry onto a stage, and a room this size is the right place to try.

A new record, a new label and a Saturday night: Ashe's Dallas return has the timing right.

Dallas also gets her early in the run, while the songs are still new to the band and the crowd. The Music Universe reports the North American leg opens Feb. 17 in Atlanta at The Eastern, then heads to Houston on Feb. 19. Dallas is the next stop on Feb. 20, and Austin follows the very next night at ACL Live. The tour later crosses to the UK and Europe, Official Charts reports, opening April 5 at 3Olympia in Dublin. If you have friends in Austin, this is the rare Texas swing where you can pick your city.

Claire Rosinkranz is the North American opener, and she is on the Dallas bill. Plan to be inside for her set: a 7 p.m. start on a Saturday means the opener goes on while a lot of people are still parking.

The gap since 2023 is not huge by touring standards, but a lot has moved. The Bomb Factory show came before this album existed; February brings its songs to Dallas for the first time, in a different room. Fans who came out three years ago will be hearing songs that did not exist yet.

For the practical part: doors and set times will come from the venue closer to the date, so check the House of Blues and Ticketmaster pages before you go.

Three years after The Bomb Factory, Ashe is back with a record about friends, love and loss. Bring the friend you would cast in the friendship-drama songs, and go early enough to catch Claire Rosinkranz.
