TYLER BRADEN, ALLEN STONE, AND NEON TREES

Tyler Braden is many things all at once. The Gold-certified Alabama-born and Nashville-based singer, songwriter and guitarist is a classic country troubadour whose storytelling strikes an intimate chord. At the same time, he’s an energetic showman who can rile up a crowd with a blast of electric guitar and a stadium-sized singalong.

His voice booms with soul, his riffs rock with gusto and his songwriting teems with truth. That’s why he’s quietly asserted himself as a “country powerhouse,” according to American Songwriter. Throughout high school in Slapout, Alabama, he transformed into a formidable performer by captivating local crowds with marathon cover gigs.

Years later, while holding down a job as a firefighter, he wrote and recorded at every chance possible. After introducing himself with “Little Red Wine,” he gained traction with a series of singles and 2021’s “What Do They Know” EP. Two years later, he served up the “Neon Grave” EP, highlighted by the standout “Try Losing One,” which catapulted to #1 on The Highway’s Hot 30 Weekend Countdown on SiriusXM.

However, he really leveled up on 2024’s “DEVIL YOU KNOW.” Not only did the latter song eclipse 335 million global streams, but it also earned a Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. Billboard hailed its “automatic authenticity,” going on to attest, “the sound is dangerous.” Additionally, he received acclaim from People, Taste of Country, Country Now and more.

He notably lit up venues with everyone from Luke Bryan, Brooks & Dunn and Dierks Bentley to Brothers Osborne, Warren Zeiders and Darius Rucker. With nearly 765 million global career streams, countless sold-out shows in the rearview and a bright future ahead, he reveals multiple sides of himself on his full-length debut album, “devil and a prayer”.

His genre-defying style, blending funk, gospel, folk-rock, and soul, has garnered critical acclaim and a devoted following. Stone’s journey to musical stardom commenced in Chewelah, Washington, where his upbringing immersed him in gospel music as a pastor’s son. Relocating to Seattle, he tirelessly toured the West Coast in his ’87 Buick, swiftly gaining acclaim for his dynamic live shows, often playing up to 200 dates annually alongside luminaries such as Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Dave Matthews Band, Erykah Badu, and Gary Clark Jr. Notably, and Chris Stapleton, further solidifying his status as a tour de force in the music industry. Alongside his prolific touring schedule, Stone has graced national television screens, including The Kelly Clarkston Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Today show, and a Celebrity Mentor on ABC’s American Idol.  Stone continues to garner critical acclaim with his latest body of work, Mystery, featuring the title track in collaboration with PJ Morton.
