When Arkansas native Ashley McBryde became an official member of the Grand Ole Opry in 2022, her tears of gratitude flowed freely, and the crowd of country traditionalists was captivated. Folks there that night could see what was going on inside her mind as she sang her hit ballad “Girl Goin’ Nowhere” before fellow artist Terri Clark inducted her.

You can tell he’s ready to lead a band to the next level. He sure looks the part in boots, jeans, a casually unbuttoned vintage-looking shirt, and silver jewelry everywhere you look. He might be learning his way around the keyboard, but he’s mainly here to talk about his singing.

The world knew Elvis for his music, his movies, and even for his motorcycles. People close to him knew him for his love of horses. A rich part of his personal life that largely escaped public view, his equine devotion opened to the world in 2009 when the stables at Graceland opened to the public in Memphis, Tennessee. “Actually, Elvis was a little bit afraid of horses at first because of something that happened on a movie set,” says Alene Alexander, Graceland’s stable supervisor.

With a 150-acre buffalo ranch outside of Nashville to prove it, and an Airstream he takes out West when he needs an escape from Tennessee. As for his new music, it is all very country.
