ADHD MAKES DEBUT AT STAGECOACH’S “DIPLO’S HONKYTONK STAGE”

Sunday marked the conclusion of Stagecoach and the third consecutive weekend of festivals in Indio. Despite the long run of events, the standing-room-only crowd at “Diplo’s Honkytonk Stage” was a testament to the broad appeal of new DJ duo, ADHD. The hour-long performance that kicked-off with their own mix of “Thinkin’ Bout Me” highlighted the unique sensibilities of Nashville-based songwriters Ashley Gorley and Jesse Frasure, imparting a sense that their hit-filled set could have easily fit any night of the festival circuit.
 
For the two hitmakers who’ve charted new territory sonically their entire careers, this DJing duo is a way to get back to their roots while revisiting and reimagining mixes across their vast songwriting catalogs.
 
“That might have been the most fun I’ve ever had in 25 years in the music business,” Frasure shares, still on a high from Sunday’s debut. “Super grateful to be able to take our concept of a DJ set predominantly filled with hits we’ve written and debut it for the perfect EDM and Country loving crowd in Diplo’s Honkytonk at Stagecoach.
 
“I think the crowd appreciated hearing original remixes of songs they loved from the songwriters themselves because we saw an overflowing tent dancing to a DJ duo they’ve never heard of,” Frasure continues. “Big thanks to The Neal Agency and Golden Voice for taking a chance on our vision. We can’t wait for the next one!”
 
“Our love for music each began with DJing, so it’s a full circle moment to be able to remix and play the crowd new versions of the hits we’ve written,” Gorley reflects. “It’s been fun to shake things up, to challenge and fuel our creativity in a new way outside of the writing room. The energy in the tent was incredible and we had a blast. Thank you to all the fans who showed up!”
 
ADHD was born in 2018 when Gorley and Frasure were on the road together for Thomas Rhett’s Life Changes Tour and DJed before the country singer went on stage. They went on to perform at parties and open for artists like Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj and other country tours, before officially signing with The Neal Agency for representation.
 
As individual composers, Gorley and Frasure have been recognized by the Recording Academy with multiple nominations and have won ACM, CMA, ASCAP and BMI awards. Gorley was recently inducted into the National Songwriters Hall of Fame. Follow along online at @adhd_officialDJs.
