[COUNTRY] What a voice Ashley McBryde has—not just her singing but her songwriting. The Arkansas native’s “A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega” was named one of the 54 best songs of 2017 by Jon Pareles of the New York Times, and for good reason. (“A hearty, expertly written country song about hope after hopelessness,” Pareles wrote.) McBryde plays Thursday, January 28 at the cozy 189 Public House in East Aurora, which is decidedly not a dive bar and which, like Sportsmen’s Tavern, has a knack for landing top-notch country and Americana acts between big engagements—for McBryde, that’s two nights at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, first week in February. And there’s no cover charge.
