A native of Scott County, Ashlee Glaspy is a seasoned flutist and vocalist whose life and work are deeply rooted in Appalachian culture and community. With over 30 years of experience as a flutist and 17 years as a private instructor, Ashlee is both a passionate performer and a dedicated educator. She directs the Wildwood Flutes, a local flute choir, and currently serves as Program Director for Scott County’s Junior Appalachian Musicians program, where she helps cultivate the next generation of traditional artists.

Ashlee’s talents extend across the stage and into collaborative spaces. She recently starred as Maria in the Plateau Players' production of The Sound of Music, and she is the Director of Performing Arts and Secretary for the Appalachian Society of the Arts. She performs with Salley Gardens, a vocal and instrumental collaboration with Jessica Rash, and sings First Soprano with the Highland Harmony Community Chorus. She previously held the same role with the Knoxville Choral Society.

Whether through her voice, her flute, or her leadership, Ashlee’s artistry is fueled by love—for music, for her Appalachian roots, and most of all, for her family. She is the wife of Ace Glaspy and mother to Conner, Willow, and Lilliana, who remain her greatest inspirations and biggest supporters.

Outside of music, Ashlee is an avid reader and lifelong learner. She is also an herbalist and artisan, crafting handmade tinctures, teas, and wire-wrapped crystal jewelry—blending creativity, healing, and connection in everything she touches.
