Ashley McBryde @ Lansdowne Theater

Into the Wild Tour

“One of Nashville’s most reliable and sophisticated songwriters” (Los Angeles Times), GRAMMY, ACM,
and CMA award-winning Grand Ole Opry member Ashley McBryde deals in songs that deliver hard
truths with a soulful ferocity. On her new album, Wild, McBryde threads a captivating narrative over 11
tracks, culminating in the moment just before she quit drinking. The Arkansas-bred artist uncovers the
deepest layers of her lived experience through it all: the grit and grind of growing up in the Ozarks, the
enduring shadow of her fundamentalist upbringing, the fallout of drinking too much, and hard-won
reckoning that led her to sobriety. When matched with her thrilling collision of timeless country and
blistering rock & roll, the result is equal parts daring autobiography and courageous reclamation of her
most untamed nature.
Earning elite accolades across her acclaimed catalog, like 2020’s Never Will, one of the only LPs ever to
garner Country Album of the Year nominations from the ACM, CMA, and GRAMMYs all in the same
awards season, McBryde is “an artist with many things to say and a big enough voice to slice through the
noise” (Rolling Stone). The CMA International Artist Achievement award winner and recipient of an
honorary doctorate in music from Arkansas State University is “the genre’s smartest lyricist” (SPIN) and
“one of Nashville’s brightest innovators” (NPR). Dr. McBryde innovated again last August, creating a
haven on Nashville’s Lower Broadway with her non-alcoholic forward concept bar, Redemption, at
home on the fifth floor of Eric Church’s Chief’s.
As she moves into her next chapter with an unprecedented clarity, McBryde hopes that listeners might
reconnect with their own boldest essence. “When people hear this record, I hope it wakes up the part of
them that I’m singing about in Wild—the part that still believes in those unrealized dreams and untaken
risks,” says McBryde. “I believe that wild little kid is still alive inside of all of us, and that’s the version of
everyone that I want to sing to.”
