In the beginning of 2020, Ashley, along with her partners Ari Herstand and Andrew Leib, founded the UnCancelled Music Festival in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] The festival was a multi-week, live-streamed event via the platform, Stage-It, that featured hundreds of artists including: Colbie Caillat, Betty Who, Waxahatchee, Beach Bunny, Kevin Garrett, Mary Lambert, Cautious Clay, JP Saxe, David Ryan Harris, and others.[11] Venues like The Hotel Cafe and Rockwood Music Hall were booking partners.[11] The proceeds from the festival were directed to the artists, venues, and to the festival's charity partner, MusicCares (the Recording Academy's philanthropic organization), which developed a COVID-19 Relief Fund for musicians.[8]
