Grammy winner shares opening track from anticipated new album
On the heels of the announcement of her highly anticipated album The Devil I Know set for September 8th via Warner Music Nashville, Grammy award winner Ashley McBryde releases album opener “Made For This.”
“Travis Meadows and I wrote ‘Made For This,’ and at the time, I was still touring in a van and he was using his truck, so we definitely had touring and the life of musicians top of mind,” shares McBryde. “But this song reaches beyond that. It’s not just touring musicians and bands and crews who are on the road 200+ days a year who are ‘calling home for a telephone goodnight kiss.’ It’s also members of our military, our truck drivers and those that work long or odd hours sacrificing time with their family. We’re lucky we’re made for this.”
Written by McBryde and Meadows, “Made For This” has been a live staple for McBryde and her band Deadhorse, chronicling the long nights spent pursuing a dream, and now finally released as a studio recording.
Titled after the release, season two of McBryde’s Made For This web series will premiere Monday, July 10th at 11 am CT. The series follows McBryde, her band and crew as they travel around the world. From backstage, to the tour bus, to off days, each episode gives a unique, insider perspective on the life of a touring musician.
The album’s lead single, “Light On In The Kitchen,” is climbing the charts and approaching the top 25. The Arkansas native followed with title track “The Devil I Know” as she teased the album.
As she returned to Nissan Stadium for CMA Fest’s 50th anniversary last month, McBryde will be featured in the CMA Fest television special airing on July 19th at 7 pm CT on ABC.
Performing tonight (Fri, July 7th) at Wenonah Park in Bay City, Michigan, McBryde will be on the road with headlining shows and festival stops throughout the summer along with dates on Jelly Roll’s Back Road Baptism Tour 2023 and a night with Dierks Bentley at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado before returning to Middle Tennessee for Pilgrimage Festival in Franklin on September 24th.
