Gypsum Daze is embracing its roots once again, returning to a one‑night concert experience that brings the community together in a big way.  "Hosting Grammy, CMA and ACM winner Ashley McBryde at the Lundgren Amphitheater is an incredible opportunity for Gypsum," says Kyndal Emerick, the Town of Gypsum’s Communications & Marketing Coordinator. "Ashley's powerhouse vocals will bring an incredible headline performance to our stage, while Chayce Beckham's raw, soulful style will open the night with energy, connection and great music”.

 Ashley McBryde, a GRAMMY-, CMA-, and ACM-winning Grand Ole Opry member renowned for her hard‑hitting, storyteller’s voice that was born in biker bars, delivers an earthy authenticity through critically acclaimed albums like Girl Going Nowhere, Never Will, Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville, The Devil I Know, and her latest project, Wild, which includes her fastest rising single to date, “What If We Don’t”. While rising country artist Chayce Beckham, the only artist to win American Idol with his own original music, has quickly made his mark with the platinum, chart‑topping hit “23.” With more than 536 million streams and a raw, blues‑infused style shaped by real‑life hardships, Beckham’s debut album Bad for Me cements him as one of country music’s most compelling new voices. His latest releases, including “Ocean Blue” and “Holdin’ You, Lovin’ You,” continue to showcase his honest songwriting and signature country‑rock edge.

 Gypsum Daze Concert tickets go on sale May 15th. Early-bird pricing is available through July 12th:
