Ashley Monroe has released another song – ‘Wild Love’ – from her forthcoming album ‘Sparrow which is due out 20th April.
After releasing her Grammy-nominated LP The Blade in 2015, Ashley Monroe started writing songs that realised themselves in unexpected ways – nudged loose after working through trauma and turmoil from her childhood. “I was unpacking a lot of stuff,” she says. “I was singing, and identifying what it’s like to be left. No one told me what I should do, back then, when the world started to crumble.”
For many years there has been a close link between our very own Belfast City and the iconic music city of Nashville. The region’s connection with Tennessee dates from the Scots-Irish settlement of the area in the eighteenth century to the diverse relationships and cultural ties that link Belfast and Nashville today. Belfast has been an official sister city of Nashville, since 1995 in a partnership focusing on social projects, education, and musical and cultural exchange.
Ashley McBryde‘s long-awaited major label debut ‘Girl Going Nowhere’ is out now and available to download/stream everywhere today! The album is already getting an incredible reaction from fans and critics:
“… among the most varied, warm and effortlessly confident country music albums of the past few years.” –Jon Caramanica, The New York Times
“…an unabashed, Southern-rooted, honest-to-gawd great country record.”
– Chris Willman, Variety
