GRAMMY®, CMA and ACM award winning singer-songwriter Ashley McBryde announces a return to Belfast with a headline show at Custom House Square as part of the Summer Series of events on June 25th 2026.
Ashley is making her musical return on Friday, January 23, with her next single, “What If We Don’t” via Warner Records Nashville. An anthemic, larger-than-life plea, “What If We Don’t” takes a step past go. The churning, impassioned ballad dares listeners to live without regret, with McBryde’s tempestuous vocal serving as an anchor.
“‘What If We Don’t’ came to me, Terri Jo Box, and Randall Clay sitting around a fire pit on a back porch, reminiscing on all the moments that we could’ve made a different choice and wondering if we should’ve,” McBryde shares. “It’s about the leaps of faith that you do or don’t take, and having to learn to live with those consequences either way.”
GRAMMY®, CMA and ACM award winning singer-songwriter Ashley McBryde “has arrived” (CBS Sunday Mornings). From back porches to biker bars across America’s Middle, to playing arenas, sheds, and stadiums around the world, the Arkansas native and Warner Music Nashville recording artist has dedicated her life to the craft of storytelling; “an artist with many things to say and a big enough voice to slice through the noise” (Rolling Stone).
The Grand Ole Opry member’s 2018 major label debut Girl Going Nowhere charmed The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, Paste, The Washington Post and more, earning a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. Follow-up Never Will is one of the only albums ever nominated for Country Album of the Year by the ACM, CMA, and the Recording Academy in the same awards season. Her collaborative project, Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville, earned McBryde her third consecutive GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, and opened up a parallel universe in homage to world-building song mastermind Dennis Linde that took the Nashville creative community by storm. Her latest, The Devil I Know, brought more critical acclaim, earning nods as one of the best country albums of the year from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Slate, PASTE, Holler and more.
In 2022, McBryde was honored with the CMA International Artist Achievement Award for the most significant creative growth, development and promotion of the country music industry outside of the U.S. This year, she was awarded an honorary doctorate in music from her alma mater, Arkansas State University, for her significant contributions to the field.
Hailed as “one of Nashville’s most reliable and sophisticated songwriters” (Los Angeles Times) Dr. McBryde released road-worn fan favorite “Rattlesnake Preacher” in June to rapturous reception. She opened her non-alcoholic forward concept, Redemption Bar, at home on the fifth floor of Eric Church’s Chief’s in Nashville last August, paired with her Redemption Residency at Chief’s Neon Steeple through mid-2026.
