For You
Of course, after learning about her relationship with The Judds, most people ask if Ashley Judd has performed with them on stage. Well, if we are strictly talking about singing on stage at a professional level, then the answer is a resounding no.
There was, however, a time when she shared a stage with her mother and sister while they performed. It was during a show at the Venetian in Las Vegas. Ashley, along with Larry Strickland (step-father) and Cactus Moser (Wynonna’s husband), joined Naomi and Wynonna on stage as they performed to close a show. Although she didn’t have a mic, Ashley sang along with her mother and sister throughout the performance.
The song they performed was “Love Can Build a Bridge.” It was their second single for the album of the same name, released in December 1990. The song performed exceptionally well on both US and international charts.
