Ashleigh Flynn & Th e Riveters to perform at Fort George ASTORIA — Acclaimed solo artist Ashleigh Flynn is set to perform at Fort George Brewery on Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. Flynn grew up in Kentucky, draw- ing inspiration from regional bluegrass and Motown music. She arrived on the Americana scene with the release of her third LP, “American Dream,” a poetic lament to the elusiveness of that national ethos. “A Million Stars” followed, a journey celebrating the women pioneers of the American West. Most recently, Flynn debuted a band. An all-female lineup, the group gives a nod to the 1940s Rosie the Riveter archetype. The show is free, masks are required and other COVID precautions are advised. Find out more about the show from the Liberty Theatre in Astoria or at fortgeorgebrewery.com.
