HALESTORM ENLISTS COUNTRY STAR ASHLEY MCBRYDE FOR DUET ON “TERRIBLE THINGS” OUT NOW

GRAMMY-winning hard rock band HALESTORM today released a duet of “Terrible Things” from their album Back From The Dead with GRAMMY, ACM, and CMA Award-winning country star Ashley McBryde.

“Terrible Things is a song about hope and forgiveness of one’s self, and this world we live in,” said Lzzy Hale.  “To elevate the heart of this track we asked the baddest woman in Nashville, Ashley McBryde, to lend her incredible voice. I’m so in awe of her power and am so grateful to have her join us! I know the message will resonate and inspire you. We are imperfect beings, capable of so much evil. But I will not lose faith, because in my dreams I believe we are not these Terrible Things.”

“I’ve loved Halestorm for longer than I can remember,” shared McBryde. “I thought my team was messing with me when they said Lzzy asked if I wanted to sing on ‘Terrible Things’ with them. But it turns out they were being serious, so of course I said yes. I am so happy to be on this track with Lzzy. She’s a phenomenal human being and someone I continue to look up to.”

Yesterday Billboard shared Lzzy Hale’s “Unmasked” video, a short form video portrait series in partnership with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and Sound Mind Live promoting an open dialogue on mental health. Hale speaks candidly about her struggles with anxiety and imposter syndrome and offers hope for others combating similar issues.

Later this week, Lzzy Hale and guitarist Joe Hottinger will present and perform a short acoustic set at the UK’s Heavy Music Awards, held at London’s OVO Arena Wembley this Friday, 26th May. Halestorm are nominated for four awards (Best Album, International Artist, International Live Artist, and Production). The group will next perform in the UK on the main stage at Download Festival on June 8th. Besides headline dates and festival slots, Halestorm are also squeezing in a number of shows in Europe with Ghost and in North America with Volbeat. Stay tuned for more tour news soon.

About Ashley McBryde:

GRAMMY, CMA and ACM award winner Ashley McBryde cut her teeth playing country songs in biker bars – and it shows. 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. Her collaborative project Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville featuring Brothers Osborne, Brandy Clark, Pillbox Patti, Caylee Hammack, Aaron Raitiere and Benjy Davis earned McBryde her third consecutive GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making her a six-time GRAMMY nominee. Upon its release, Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville garnered applause from The New York Times, NPR, Variety, Vulture, Esquire, Rolling Stone, Billboard and Stereogum, among many more. McBryde recently wrapped The Judds: The Final Tour with Wynonna and two sold-out nights at the Ryman Auditorium with Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville Live. Her latest chart-climbing single “Light On In The Kitchen” is available everywhere now along with “The Devil I Know,” with more new music on the way. McBryde will embark on a run of additional headlining shows, festivals, dates with Eric Church on The Outsiders Revival Tour and Jelly Roll this spring and summer.
