Ashley McBryde took to her Facebook Live today to do a thirty-minute concert and raised money for all the musicians that are out of work now that the COVID-19 has postponed everything. Her online show raised over $5,450.

Before she sang, Ashley took a moment to explain that if musicians don't play shows they don't get paid and thanked all those who donated during the show. She also opened up her new vinyl album with a glass a wine for fans.

While she sang, her dog sat on the couch behind her most of the time seemingly enjoying McBryde's performance.

You can see the whole performance below.
