Ashley McBryde has been forced to cancel her upcoming shows this week due to vocal issues.
The GRAMMY-winning country star took to social media on Monday afternoon (Aug. 11) to share the news with her fans.
“My voice has been struggling over the past few weeks, and as much as it pains me, I won’t be able to play my shows this week,” McBryde wrote on her Instagram Stories.
The ACM-award winner continued, “My doctors have made it crystal clear: my voice needs complete rest to heal.”
She also apologized to her fans and assured them she would be back on stage soon.
“There’s nothing I want more than to be back giving you 100%. Thank you for understanding. I’ll see you soon,” McBryde added.
Her Recent Vocal Troubles
The cancellation follows McBryde’s recent announcement that she’s been on vocal rest.
In a social media video, the “One Night Standards” singer humorously updated her followers by holding up written signs while someone off-camera voiced her words.
“Hi guys. So…I hurt my throat. So no talking if I want to be able to sing to you,” she wrote. “This would be a good time to practice some ASL,” she added, encouraging her fans to join in.
McBryde captioned the clip: “Trybe, doc says I’m working on busted-up vocal cords. The last thing I wanna do is cancel any meet and greets or Heaven forbid SHOWS. So let’s try this for this week!”

A New Venture Shaking Up the Nashville Bar Scene
In addition to her vocal recovery, McBryde is making waves in Nashville with an exciting new venture.
The “Rattlesnake Preacher” singer recently announced plans to open Redemption Bar inside Eric Church’s Chief’s on Broadway in Nashville.
Redemption will offer a welcoming space for those who choose sobriety, serving non-alcoholic drinks, including creative mocktails, for people who prefer to socialize without alcohol.
