FORT WORTH, TX (November 17, 2022)...Terry McBride cemented his place in Texas music history at the Texas Country Music Awards held at Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth Sunday night. McBride was given the prestigious “Trailblazer Award” to honor his extraordinary career as lead of McBride & The Ride, a solo artist, and massive list of songwriting credits for both himself and other artists. “As a proud Texan it was truly an honor to receive the Trailblazer Award from the TCMA,” McBride said after the ceremony. “Growing up, most of my favorite artists and songwriters came out of Texas and I burned up the road from my hometown of Lampasas to Austin to see my hero’s perform in person every chance I could get, so to be recognized by my home state in front of a house full of talented Texans at last night’s event is a night I won’t soon forget.”
McBride & The Ride, who have recently reunited and are releasing their first offering of new music in over two decades, performed their latest single “Marlboros & Avon” to a packed house of Texas music dignitaries and fans alike. Affirming their signature 3-part harmonies and rock solid rhythm section are as tight as ever.
McBride also won Country Music Single of the Year for his song “Wild Horses” performed by Kin Faux (Ft Terry McBride). He co-wrote the song with fellow Texan Jim Beavers. A decorated songwriter, McBride has received 13 awards from BMI in his career where he has written songs for everyone from Garth Brooks, George Strait, Reba McEntire, Brooks & Dunn and Alan Jackson to Cody Johnson, Jon Pardi, and Cole Swindell.

ABOUT TERRY MCBRIDE
Tried & true Texan, Music City hitmaker, frontman, and multi-instrumentalist are just a few of the monikers Terry McBride has worn in his decades-long chart-topping career. A Lampasas, TX native, McBride spent his teenage summers on the road with his dad, the late Dale McBride, who was a recording artist with several Billboard charted singles, before gritting his teeth in the Austin scene and becoming one of the most sought-after bass players in the city. In 1989, Terry traveled to Nashville and met MCA President Tony Brown, who would later go on to sign Terry to a recording contract with the label. Terry's group, McBride & The Ride, recorded four albums for MCA, racking up several top five singles over the next few years, including "Sacred Ground" a #1 Single in 1992, and CMA and ACM Nominations for Vocal Group of the Year. When Terry turned his focus towards songwriting for other artists he landed cuts with artists such as Garth Brooks, George Strait, Reba McEntire, Hank Williams Jr., Ronnie Dunn, Kix Brooks, Alan Jackson, Trace Adkins, Easton Corbin, Kenny Rogers, Jon Pardi, Cody Johnson, and Cole Swindell. Terry has had over 25 songs recorded by Brooks & Dunn, which led to 13 singles and 12 BMI million airplay awards. He continues to immerse himself in the Nashville writing scene and 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.
