July 15, 2023

Turlock, CA (April 7, 2023) – “I ain’t gonna miss” this live performance at the Stanislaus County Fair. Stop dragging your boots, and head on over to “Where Life is Happening!”

 The Stanislaus County Fair Welcomes GRAMMY, CMA and ACM award winner, “Ashley McBryde” onSaturday July 15th, at The Coors Light Stage at 8:30 p.m. Concert will be hosted by KAT Country 103 and is sponsored by Smith Chevrolet. Concert series are free with the price of Fair admission.

            “Hey, I’ve got your back StanCo Fair! With this amazing vocalist you can’t help but sing along and relate to the lyrics.” said Jose Piña, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair. This year we are looking forward to Ashley McBryde, who began her career playing country songs in rural biker bars and is now a Grammy Award winner!

The Grand Ole Opry member’s 2018 major label debut Girl Going Nowhere (Warner Music Nashville) charmed The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, Paste, The Washington Post and more, all en route to landing a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. McBryde closed out 2019 with ACM New Female Artist, CMT Breakout Artist, a New Artist of the Year win at the 53rd Annual CMA Awards and two nominations for the 2020 GRAMMYs for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance for “Girl Goin’ Nowhere.” Her follow-up Never Will was tagged by Rolling Stone as one of the most anticipated of the year alongside NPR, who also ranked her Top 10 RIAA Platinum-Certified single “One Night Standards” as one of the best songs of 2019. The album earned McBryde a 2021 GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making Never Will the only album nominated for Country Album of the Year by the ACMs, CMAs and the Recording Academy in the same award season. Her GRAMMY-winning duet with Carly Pearce, “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” went all the way to No. 1 and earned McBryde and Pearce the ACM and CMA award for Musical Event of the Year. McBryde was also honored with the 2022 CMA International Artist Achievement Award for the most significant creative growth, development and promotion of the country music industry outside of the United States. The Arkansas-native invites listeners to Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville, a collaborative project featuring Brothers Osborne, Brandy Clark, Pillbox Patti, Caylee Hammack, Aaron Raitiere and more, earning McBryde her third consecutive GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making her a six-time GRAMMY nominee. Upon its release on September 30, Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville garnered applause from The New York Times, NPR, Variety, Vulture, Esquire, Rolling Stone, Billboard and Stereogum, among many more. McBryde is slated to play headlining shows, festivals and three dates with Eric Church on The Outsiders Revival Tour this spring and summer.
