About this episode

Wayne D interviews Ashley McBryde about her new Broadway bar, her album 'Wild', and her journey through sobriety.

Wayne D sits down with one of country music’s most real voices—Ashley McBryde—and nothing’s off-limits. From the opening, Ashley dives into her brand-new Broadway spot, Redemption Bar, a one-of-a-kind space inside Eric Church’s Chief’s that flips the Nashville bar scene on its head with a focus on inclusivity and non-alcoholic options inspired by her own sobriety journey. [musicrow.com] , [whiskeyriff.com] They also get into her powerful new album “Wild,” a deeply personal project that leans into her rock influences and tells honest stories about her life, struggles, and growth—especially her journey through sobriety and finding herself on the other side of it. [billboard.com] And then there’s Eric Church—the unexpected thread running through it all. Ashley shares how a chance moment on stage with him years ago helped change her career, and how that connection has turned into a full-circle friendship… including now having her bar inside his Nashville venue. [whiskeyriff.com] , [billboard.com] It’s funny, honest, a little deep, and totally Ashley—exactly the kind of conversation you don’t want to miss.
