Genre: Country / Americana / Singer/Songwriter
Key Tracks: Some Things, Lie To Each Other

Ashley McBryde is a strong country music artist with some great songs. Her latest 11
song EP, 'Elsebound', is a compilation of tunes that cover just about every aspect of
love and relationships.

"Lie To Each Other" is a cleverly written song where Ashley talks about how things
aren't perfect in her love life. On the tune she asks this guy she's having an affair with if
they can just lie to each other and pretend that what they're doing is okay. It's a nicely
produced song that has a real life story at the heart of it.

"Some Things" is a beautiful song about how our lives change so much over time and
we don't know what we've got til' its gone. So Ashley reminisces on times past and how
she misses those good old days, no matter how messed up things were at times. This is
a great song.

Some of my other favorites include: "Why Do I", "Journey", and "Whole Damn Thing". All
of these tunes are consistently well written and Ashley sounds great on all of them.

Overall, Ashely McBryde's 'Elsebound' EP is a full of substance and southern country
living. I encourage you to go learn more about this amazing artist whose music will touch
your soul and make you an instant fan. Make sure you buy her music too.

MUSICAL GOAL: "Goal - Constantly grow and improve my craft, attain a publishing
deal, continue to rock your face at my shows, and open for Brandi Carlile." - Ashley
