Ashley McBryde to bring Southern charm to the Bay Area
The musician was raised in a strict Southern household, where she recalled being drawn to tunes by the Carpenters and Kris Kristofferson and trying out her father's guitar. Her early interest in music prompted her parents to buy her a guitar of her own, empowering McBryde to begin writing her own songs at age 12.
Since then, the country singer has received a number of country music accolades, from being inducted into the Grand Ole Opry to earning a Grammy Award. She has released four studio albums extolling the honky tonk life and has become known for melding elements of rock, bluegrass and country. Her most recent record, 'The Devil I Know,' was released in 2023.
Earlier this year, before embarking on her 30-date tour, the country star received received an honorary Doctorate of Music from Arkansas State University.

‘The Hunting Wives' Showrunner Teases a Potential Season 2 (With More Murder)
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Some spoilers below. Maple Brook, Texas, has a murder problem. In Netflix's latest soapy mystery thriller The Hunting Wives, the Southern enclave becomes the scene of not one but multiple (four, by my count) homicides, each somehow connected to the titular gun-toting wives at its center. Most dominant amongst them is Margo (Malin Åkerman), wife of the oil tycoon and gubernatorial candidate Jed (Dermot Mulroney), with whom she shares an open marriage. That open door beckons in Sophie (Brittany Snow), who's relocated from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Maple Brook with her husband, only to fall in with Margo and her MAGA-coded pack—and fall into a love affair with Margot herself. Eventually, the multiple affairs connecting these characters result in multiple deaths (who could have guessed!), setting the stage for a delicious finale the chance for a second season. Here's what we know so far. Mercifully, none of the people depicted in The Hunting Wives are real. But their story is adapted from a 2021 thriller novel by May Cobb, which is itself inspired by some of Cobb's real-life experiences in Texas. As Åkerman recently told Town & Country, '[Cobb] was on set a lot, she's an executive producer of the show, and the book is based on people that she has met—not necessarily the murders, though. But we had a lot of discussions, and talking to May about who she met and hearing her stories of these different women was informative for our characters.' She also added that '[showrunner] Rebecca Cutter and May decided to swap a few things from the book so that fans are surprised as well.' All of which is to say: Whether or not you've read The Hunting Wives before tuning into the Netflix series, you're in for a twisty ride. The cast and crew certainly want one. After scooping up the series from Starz in a one-year deal earlier this summer, Netflix has yet to announce what the future of the series might look like. But its talent have demonstrated a clear interest in moving forward. In a pre-release interview with Decider, Ackerman shared that she was nervous for the series to drop on Netflix largely because she wants it to continue. 'I think the nerves come from, for me, really wanting this to go for a second season,' she said, adding, 'because I love everybody that I got to work with and it would be a dream come true to go again. So my nerves are around the fact that I just want and wish for everyone to love it so much that we get another season.' In a separate interview with Collider, Snow also expressed her enthusiasm for a sophomore chapter. 'I think the end [of season 1] is really interesting, and I know that we would deal with it in season 2,' she said. 'There are a lot of questions that didn't get answered because Rebecca wants to answer them in the next season if we get one.' Should Cutter get the green light she's hoping for, she plans to 'do a little bit of a time jump—not a year, but a time' between seasons, she told Variety. She's not yet sure what the ensuing story might look like, but one thing is for certain: Season 2 would center 'the two engines of the show': a 'whodunit' and 'the Margo/Sophie relationship.' Cutter continued, 'The first thing I'm thinking about is, where are these two women at the start? Where are they at the end? What are the peaks and valleys of their individual power, of their relationship? So it's tracking a course for that, and then figuring out what the crime engine is.' As for the 'crime engine' itself, expect another murder mystery. But don't ask for any details yet! Cutter joked, 'I don't know whodunit yet or who got done!' This story will be updated.

Outdoor Voices brings back founder Ty Haney 2 years after she said the activewear brand had lost its way
Outdoor Voices is going founder mode — literally. The apparel brand Tyler Haney founded in 2013 said Monday that it was bringing the entrepreneur back after a controversial five-year separation. Haney said in a video posted to the brand's Instagram on Monday that she'd been working on a new collection with the brand for about the last nine months. "I'm so excited to step back into this role as founder, as an owner, and as a partner," she said in the video. As of Monday, the brand had deleted all other content aside from the video from its Instagram page. Haney and OV parted ways in 2020 after the company had reportedly sustained losses of as much as $2 million a month in 2019, Business of Fashion reported. OV's new leadership told Business Insider in 2021 that the company had managed to turn a profit for the first time. But, from the sidelines, Haney publicly criticized OV as missing the mark. "Yikes! Y'all have lost your way," she posted in a since-deleted comment from 2023 on a photo of a green polo dress that the brand posted on social media. "The future is not bright for the OG Exercise Dress," she said in another post from 2023. Haney went on to launch new ventures, including a plant-based energy drink and a blockchain customer loyalty community called TYB. Now back at OV, Haney said she's bringing the brand back to its "Doing Things" mission to "maximize happiness through movement and celebrate sweat." "It's been super cool to reassemble the OG creative team and some new players," Haney said. Private equity firm Consortium Brand Partners said in June that it had acquired Outdoor Voices with the intent of re-establishing the "core pillars" Haney founded the brand on: people, planet, and product. CBP also owns a majority stake in Reese Witherspoon's Southern lifestyle brand Draper James. CBP president Jonathan Greller said in a June statement that Outdoor Voices "faced challenges within its business framework," but that the brand is now the "healthiest it's ever been."
