Ashley McBryde celebrates 5th anniversary of ‘Never Will’ With ASL music videos | Entertainment Focus
Ashley McBryde is honoring the fifth anniversary of her acclaimed album ‘Never Will’ with a powerful gesture of inclusivity. The Grand Ole Opry member has partnered with the Deaf Professional Arts Network (DPAN) and AmberG Productions to release American Sign Language (ASL) interpretations of three music videos from her sophomore album: the Platinum-certified ‘One Night Standards,’ album opener ‘Hang In There Girl’ and fan favourite ‘Martha Divine.’
The announcement was shared by McBryde on social media alongside her friend Kim Bryant, marking the initiative as part of National Deaf History Month.
McBryde began learning ASL after undergoing vocal cord surgery, which temporarily left her unable to speak. What started as a necessity evolved into a deeper commitment to accessibility. Throughout her 2023 tour, she began incorporating ASL into her live shows, striving to create a more inclusive experience for her deaf and hard-of-hearing fans.
