Terry McBride at Chief's on Broadway - Thursday, Mar 27 2025 | Discotech

Born and raised in Texas, Terry McBride grew up in Lampasas, a small ranching community about seventy miles northwest of Austin. After receiving a guitar for his ninth birthday from his father it wasn’t long before Terry was playing in local bands and spending summers on the road with his dad, the late Dale McBride, who was a recording artist with several Billboard charted singles in the late 70’s. After high school, Terry traveled and toured as part of his father’s band for three years before moving to Austin. Terry became a sought after bass player in the local music scene and spent the next few years playing with Texas artists Lee Roy Parnell, Bill Carter and the Blame, Jimmy Dale Gilmore, Johnny Duncan, Rosie Flores and a two year stint with Delbert McClinton. Terry’s songwriting has been astounding, and through the years has had songs cut by other artists such as Garth Brooks, George Strait, Reba McEntire, Hank Williams Jr., Ronnie Dunn, Kix Brooks, Alan Jackson, Trace Adkins, Easton Corbin, Kenny Rogers, John Anderson, Cole Swindell, Jim Lauderdale, Chase Bryant, Clare Dunn, Ricky Van Shelton, Jack Ingram, David Ball, Wade Hayes, Gretchen Wilson, Andy Griggs, James Otto, Gord Bamford, Emerson Drive and many more. In 2004 Terry co-wrote American Idol finalist Josh Gracin top-five single “Stay With Me/Brass Bed”. He followed that up by co-writing “Play Something Country” with Ronnie Dunn, which was the fastest rising single of Brooks and Dunn’s career and was also the final #1 song for the award winning duo. Terry has had over 25 songs recorded by Brooks & Dunn, which led to 13 singles and 12 BMI Million Air Awards. Terry has celebrated multiple Texas #1 singles including “All About Lovin’” by Josh Ward and “Wild Horses” with Kin Faux, which became Single Of The Year at the 2022 Texas Country Music Awards. That same year, he received the Trailblazer Award at the Texas Country Music Awards. The Texas Heritage Songwriters Association recently announced their class of 2024 inducting Terry into the Texas Songwriters Hall of Fame along with Eric Johnson, Jack Ingram, Jon Randall and Ruthie Foster Terry continues to immerse himself in the Nashville writing scene, certified by his current climbing Top 40 single “Sounds Like Something I’d Do” with rising star and Stoney Creek recording artist, Drake Milligan. He continues to tour as a solo artist along with the recently reunited, McBride & The Ride, who are releasing new music for the first time in nearly two decades. The band has released three singles from their EP Marlboros & Avon. Their first, the title track “Marlboros & Avon,” is already top 40 on the MusicRow chart and has frequently been one of the most added tracks week after week. Sold-out performances at the Grand Ole Opry and Bridgestone Arena, with the Nashville Predators, affirm the trio is primed and ready for a comeback. Texas grit, never-ending talent, and a smiling personality, of a man who never met a stranger, make up the incredibly prolific career of Terry McBride that spans 4 decades with hundreds of cuts, multiple #1 songs, and charting songs in hundreds of countries and 7 continents. If you see him, he’s most likely writing Country’s next big hit, performing to sold-out crowds, or producing a world-class record in Nashville. WEBSITE  |  INSTAGRAM  |  FACEBOOK
