ASHLEY MCBRYDE DIVES INTO COUNTRY RADIO AS MOST ADDED FEMALE, MOST ADDED NEW ARTIST WITH DEBUT SINGLE “A LITTLE DIVE BAR IN DAHLONEGA” 
Singer / Songwriter Joins High Valley on SiriusXM’s The Highway Finds Tour 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Already dubbed an “Arkansas red-clay badass” by Rolling Stone, Ashley McBryde arrives at country radio today as the most added new artist and most added female with her debut Warner Bros. / Warner Music Nashville single “A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega.” The track, which hit No. 1 on SirusXM’s The Highway Top 30 earlier this year, describes finding a much-needed musical pick-me-up in an unexpected place.

Impacting: Monday, October 16th: "A Little Dive Bar In Dahlonega" debuts on the Mediabase Country Top 100 at #83 (20 adds).

Co-written alongside Nicolette Hayford and Jesse Rice, the single has already earned praise from some of the most influential outlets in the country. The New York Times claimed, “What makes ‘A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega’ transcend is songwriting, songwriting, songwriting… It’s intelligently constructed and casually delivered, full of rich imagery… potent singalong moments… and words throbbing with outright lustrous feeling.” Following her recent World Café Nashville session, Ann Powers of NPR described McBryde as having “one of those voices that might belong to your sister or your best friend – if your sister or your best frined could belt like Loretta Lynn and croon like Reba McEntire.”

“Being embraced by country radio is so incredibly humbling!” said McBryde. “I'm hanging on with both hands.  It's a wild journey and I couldn't be more grateful to be on it.”

No stranger to the stage, McBryde has already toured with some of the biggest names in country music, including Chris Stapleton and Eric Church. In conjunction with her early success with “A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega,” the singer / songwriter will set off on select dates of the Sirius XM Presents: The Highway Finds Tour alongside label mates High Valley this Wednesday, October 18 in Washington D.C. Her eight cross-country dates will continue into November and include stops in New York and Nashville.

Radio Blurb: "But, what about the females?"

Atlantic Records/WMN/W.A.R. signee Ashley McBryde is a quality female. She's a writer, a musician, a soul-grabber, and completely unlike anything you have on the air right now. 
Unless, of course, you're one of the early believers who is already supporting McBryde's major-label debut, "A Little Dive Bar In Dahlonega." This girl can sing -- like, really sing! And, she can deliver a lyric in a way that we've not heard in a while, with a real, raw sense of storytelling. "A Little Dive Bar In Dahlonega" is about making the best of a worse-case scenario. Those days when nothing seems to be going right can, in fact, be the very days that change your life for the better. In this case, a car breaking down in small-town Georgia might just lead you to meeting the love of your life. This anthem is for real people, living real lives, and doing the best we can.

"Here's to the break-up / That didn't break us / The break down, wrong turn that takes ya / To a little dive bar in Dahlonega / Hear a song from a band that saves ya, man / It's hittin' rock bottom / Smoke 'em if you got 'em / Nothing's going right / Makin' the best of the worst day / Kinda night."

McBryde speaks truth through her music in a way that reminds many of Eric Church -- so much so that Church has invited her out on the road with him, and the two have paired for some great on-stage moments already.
