Artist:Ashley McBryde
Song:A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega
Album:Girl Going Nowhere
Country music singer songwriter Ashley McBryde has had some success since her 2018 album Girl Going Nowhere. I guess she is perceived as an up and comer. But at age 40, she's getting a little old to be an up and comer. She was born July 29, 1983 in Waldron, AR. Her father is a farmer, a doctor and a preacher. So Ashley had a very strict upbringing. She liked to play her father's guitar. So her parents bought her a guitar. Ashley wrote her first song at age 12. Ashley was in the high school marching band. And she studied French horn at Arkansas State. But she preferred performing in Memphis clubs. So she left school and moved to Nashville in 2007. During the day she worked at Guitar Center. And she performed at night. Ashley's big break came when Eric Church heard her 2016 EP Jalopies & Expensive Guitars and invited her on stage to perform. This led to a record deal with Warner Nashville and her 2018 debut album Girl Going Nowhere produced by Church's producer Jay Joyce. A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega was the first single. It reached #30 on the Country Singles chart. Ashley writes all her songs with co-writers. A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega was written with Jesse Rice and Nicolette Hayford. Rice co-wrote the Florida Georgia Line song Cruise. He says A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega is about how he met his wife in Georgia. The album was critically acclaimed. Ashley was nominated for a Grammy and named New Artist of the Year by the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association. Ashley has since released three albums. Though she continues to be critically acclaimed, the album sales have decreased. I wonder how long Warners will keep her around. She can always be a songwriter for hire. As I said, Ashley is too old to be an up and comer. Here's the video for A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega by Ashley McBryde.
