“I’m going to bring it,” she said. “(I will) play the best show I can but also have fun. There’s got to be a wow factor.”
Crnic added she’s hoping to meet the members of Heart, which include sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson.
“They have an interview on Thursday at the downtown Marriott. I would love to go to that,” said Crnic, adding lead singer Ann is one of her idols.
“Man can she sing. If I could train with anyone, I’d love to learn from her.”

Full Grown
Ashley Crnic hails from Canada and this is her debut album. Opener "How Much" sees her use her dynamic voice to a powerful tune. It's an engaging beginning. "Round Trip" is a rocker with an assured vocal and a dynamic sense of pace. Crnic really knows how to make her presence known.
"The Messenger" is a thrilling song with a cool, controlled vocal lead. It's a powerful statement that proves the singer's talent well. "Back to you" is a slower moment, Crnic singing softer and with a great deal of soul. It's a startlingly mature and affecting debut. - Anna Maria Stjarnell

"After I finished listening to Canadian singer-songwriter Ashley Cynic’s album ‘Full Grown’, I immediately felt like rushing out to buy her latest offerings.
‘Full Grown’ has everything, Pop, Blues, Rock, Ballads and shades of Country. The song lyrics are meaningful, the musicianship is on the button and Ashley’s tremendous vocal performance make this album, a must buy."

"Immediately arresting, Crnic’s power chords and anthem like pop-rock tunes are heads and shoulders above the usual suspects hitting the music charts today. There’s just the right balance of spunky attitude and emotional charge that carries every song to dizzying heights."

BARRIE - Singer and songwriter Ashley Crnic will take over The Mansion on Saturday night.
Crnic promise an intimate but up-beat show.
“It’s a high energy show, but it’s just me on the stage,” she said. “I play from the heart. I think of it as a jam session with an audience.”
Crnic, who grew up in Hamilton, first hit the stage at age six as part of a Croatian folklore group.
“I have been singing since I have been speaking really,” she said. “But the folklore group was the first time had to learn to read music and do the whole orchestral thing.”
She started taking singing lessons at age 10. She learned a number of different styles, however it was pop and rock that really grabbed her attention.
“I did it all. Blues, jazz, broadway, even opera, but popular music was my favourite,” she said. “I started singing a lot of Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.”
Crnic said she always knew she wanted to be a singer, and she’d taken piano lessons, but one day she decided she wanted to be a rock star.
“I picked up a guitar at 16,” she said. “I had an uncle who was a musician and he gave me a piece of junk guitar. I fixed it up and he wanted it back.”
As for The Mansion show, she will be performing songs off her debut album Full Grown, including the latest single How Much.
