Ashley McBryde to Headline Country Music Hall of Fame’s Annual Nightfall Event
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Country music fans are in for a special evening as Ashley McBryde, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and Grand Ole Opry member, will headline the 13th annual Nightfall at the Hall concert on Monday, October 6, 2025, at the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum.
The event, presented by Maverick Nashville, celebrates young professionals who support the museum’s mission through its exclusive Troubadour membership program.
A Signature Museum Event
Nightfall at the Hall has become one of the premier gatherings on Nashville’s cultural calendar. Reserved for members of the museum’s Troubadour program, the event blends live music with networking and community building, offering a chance to connect in one of country music’s most iconic institutions.
Members enjoy after-hours access to the museum paired with performances from leading artists. Over the years, the series has featured acclaimed acts, and this year’s headliner, Ashley McBryde, ensures a night filled with both artistry and inspiration.
Spotlight on Young Talent
Before McBryde takes the stage, the event will highlight emerging voices from the next generation of songwriters. Lily Braithwaite, a 15-year-old student from Brentwood, Tennessee, will perform her original song “Story of Her Life.”
The song was developed during the museum’s summer songwriting camp, where students receive mentorship and guidance in composition and performance. This initiative underscores the museum’s commitment to cultivating new talent while celebrating established artists.
Ashley McBryde’s Legacy and Style
McBryde’s rise in country music has been defined by her ability to blend traditional storytelling with modern grit. Songs like A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega and Girl Goin’ Nowhere have made her a favorite among fans who value raw honesty and lyrical depth.
Her live performances are equally compelling. Known for her warm stage presence and commanding voice, McBryde creates an atmosphere that feels both intimate and electrifying. At Nightfall, fans can expect a setlist that weaves together heartfelt ballads, rollicking anthems, and stories that reflect her Arkansas roots.
Membership Benefits
The Nightfall concert is exclusively open to Troubadour members, a group of professionals ages 21 to 45 who share a passion for music, networking, and philanthropy. Membership offers year-round access to special events, behind-the-scenes tours, and opportunities to connect with Nashville’s creative community.
Through October 9, new members can take advantage of a special promotion: 12 months of membership for the price of 11. Corporate partnerships are also available, allowing companies to engage their employees in one of the city’s most dynamic cultural programs.
For many attendees, Nightfall is more than a concert — it’s a chance to be part of a movement that preserves country music history while supporting future generations of artists.
Why This Event Matters
Events like Nightfall at the Hall highlight the cultural significance of live music in Nashville, where heritage and innovation intersect daily. For McBryde, it’s an opportunity to give back to a community that has championed her career. For the Country Music Hall of Fame, it’s a chance to unite generations of fans, from established professionals to aspiring songwriters.
The addition of a youth spotlight performance reinforces the museum’s dual mission: to honor the legends of country music while fostering the growth of tomorrow’s voices.
