Winter 2017: Winter is coming...along with many ways for you to reconnect and engage! ![]() November 2017 SPOTLIGHT: Asta Wylie '13 SCDS alumna Asta Wylie is a renegade girl-power anthem artist, bringing a unique sound to the country music scene of Nashville. Asta moved to Nashville in August after graduating high school to pursue a career as a singer/songwriter and recording artist. Her new EP Keep Me In Mind was her final project in Seattle before setting off for Nashville. She is excited to share it with the world on November 17, 2017 (available for pre-order on iTunes now!). The first single, "Hit & Run," is currently on rotation at several radio stations and on all major streaming services. "My sound has been described as 'badass Americana'. It's a mix of country, indie, and rock for sure," Asta said. "Think Miranda Lambert meets Dixie Chicks, with a touch of Janis Joplin. As a musician, I aim to give women a powerful voice and show the power of vulnerability," Upcoming Events November 21, 2017 November 24, 2017 December 9, 2017 Signup to be a judge here!
