The Haven in Chittenango NY is the first of it kind here in New York. A wedding venue turned into being used for concerts? WOW!! Much work was put into the venue to get it ready for the very first concert Saturday Night 7/26/25. Ashley Cooke no stranger to NY had the pleasure of being able to be the first show ever. From what i hear there’s many plans being made for this new venue and i’m sure most can’t wait to see what’s coming. Spoke to the owner Jeff and he says be on the look out.

Ashley had two openers Singer-Songwriter Johnny Clawson and Charity Bowden. I was out of the loop on timing and missed Johnny open the show and walked into hearing Miss Bowden entertaining the crowd.Johnny has been working with Ashley on much of her music and she had him come out toward the end of the show for a couple of songs. Charity asked the crowd if anyone knows how long it will take to drive from Alabama to NY. The crowd waited for the answer, she says about 17 hours and she knows that because she came by car. Very good performance and look forward to hearing more from all them. The Haven is a perfect size venue so far to fill things in but also keep it just right. The kids loved being able to catch a glimpse of some of the animals wondering about.

Ashley Cooke, like many other artist writes songs about her life and she’s had a rough year so far. Break-up’s and medical stuff will take a toll on anyone. But she’s using it to her advantage as well and make music out of it. Ashley Cooke is a on a mission and i don’t see her stopping anytime soon, she will be around for many years to come. Her stage presence, voice and performance to boot is what people look forward to. Many new faces in the crowd to see her, and she appreciates everyone of them. Many concerts on the same night and they chose to see Ashley Cooke over the others. Makes a girl feel special !!!!

Here’s some of her new songs coming out soon
