Beloved 90’s country trio McBride & The Ride is celebrating the success of their nostalgic single “Marlboros & Avon” going Top 40 on the MusicRow country chart. Primed for an epic comeback, the band is releasing new music and touring together for the first time in nearly 30 years.

Eric Raines, an early supporter at Austin’s legendary KOKE FM station, had the song at the No. 1 spot for two weeks in a row. It is currently #33 on the Texas CDX chart.

After a busy start to the year performing to a sold-out crowd at Bridgestone Arena with the Nashville Predators, and returning to The Grand Ole Opry, the band is gearing up for spring and summer with a run of shows in TX, IA, MO, MN, IL, and OK and opening slots this fall with Justin Moore, Lonestar, and John Michael Montgomery.

ABOUT MCBRIDE & THE RIDE When they first began releasing music in 1989, McBride & The Ride released three acclaimed albums Burnin’ Up The Road, Sacred Ground, and Hurry Sundown, with hit singles like “Love on the Loose, Heart on the Run,” “Sacred Ground,” “Going Out of My Mind,” and many more.  In the spring of 2021, they announced they were reuniting and going back in the studio to record new music. Though the band has been on and off over the past 30 years, its members have thrived through their individual careers. Ray Herndon has been Lyle Lovett’s lead guitarist since 1985 and has had songs cut by Kenny Chesney, Aaron Tippin, Lee Greenwood, Linda Davis and more, he continues to operate his family’s historic club, Handlebar J, in Scottsdale, Arizona. Terry McBride has had quite a fruitful career, writing major hits for Brooks & Dunn, Reba McEntire, Easton Corbin, Cody Johnson and more. He toured with Brooks & Dunn through most of their biggest years playing bass and writing songs. Billy Thomas moved to Nashville from Los Angeles in 1987 and immediately started working with Vince Gill along with many other country stars (Emmylou Harris, Patty Loveless, Steve Wariner & Earl Scruggs). He’s been Gill’s drummer on the road and in the studio ever since, adding background vocals to his many hits, as well as joining him as a member of The Time Jumpers, one of Nashville’s favorite bands. The trio’s upcoming EP, Marlboros & Avon, produced by all three members, is set to release in 2023, their first offering of original music in nearly 30 years. (www.mcbrideandtheride.com)
