Ashley Cooke Brings Your Place Tour to Stage AE; Whitney Cummings Plays CHMH (Sat., 3/1/25)

1) Ashley Cooke rose out of Parkland, Florida on a country music journey to play her music and enjoy some success. She independently released the album Already Drank That Beer – Side A in 2021. It was rereleased under the same title, sans Side A, in 2022 and featured an updated version of “Never Til Now” sung with Brett Young. The duet peaked at no. 49 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, supported by a push from her label, Big Loud. In 2023 Cooke released Shot in the Dark, the single “Your Place” reached no. 2 on the Airplay Chart. She will be performing at Stage AE on her Your Place tour. Opening is Greylan James. Doors open at 7 p.m. 400 North Shore Blvd., North Shore. (R.H.)

2) It can be said that great comedy is born of intelligence and that is certainly the case with Whitney Cummings. A Washington, D.C., native, Cummings graduated magna cum laude in 2004 from the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. She aspired to be a broadcast journalist, but after moving to Los Angeles, she starting getting some small comedic acting roles, including roasts, and comedy specials. She hit it big when two shows she created and produced, got picked up by the networks. CBS landed “2 Broke Girls” and NBC secured the self-titled, “Whitney.” Cummings has appeared in numerous films and TV shows. She stops at the Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall on her Big Baby! Tour. 7 p.m. 510 E. 10th Ave., Munhall.
