A rising Country star with a Rock & Roll soul, Tyler Braden makes raw and heartfelt music that’s built for massive stages. With over 630 MILLION global streams to date, the Alabama-bred singer/songwriter is kicking off a bold new era with his forthcoming debut album a devil and a prayer due May 16. The widely anticipated LP is a 19-song tour de force that fully captures the formidable energy of his live show, as shown on the first released track “DEVIL YOU KNOW” (an undeniable hit that amassed over 10 MILLION views across social media in just two weeks). Hailed as a “country powerhouse” by American Songwriter, Braden grew up in the small community of Slapout and started playing four-hour cover sets as a teenager, then continued honing his chops in between shifts as a firefighter in both Montgomery and Nashville. After signing with Warner Music Nashville, he dropped his 2023 debut EP Neon Grave and broke into the scene with lead single “Try Losing One”—an aching piano ballad that hit No. 1 on SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Countdown and earned praise from the likes of Billboard, who noted that Braden boasts “[o]ne of the most moving vocal deliveries in country music right now.” With his catalog also including standouts like tender but anthemic “GOD & GUNS N’ ROSES,” he’s shared bills with plenty of Country superstars over the past few years, including Luke Bryan, Brooks & Dunn, Dierks Bentley, and more. On the heels of his recent headline run (2025’s DEVIL YOU KNOW TOUR) and a series of dates supporting Brothers Osborne in the UK and Ireland, Braden is now gearing up to hit the road stateside with Warren Zeiders this spring and will join Darius Rucker this fall in Canada.

Currently based in Nashville, Jon Decious is an in-demand songwriter, with three co-writes on Lainey Wilson’s monumental album, Whirlwind, including “4x4xU,” “Counting Chickens,” and “Ring Finger.” Today’s Country Magazine praised “4x4xU” for its “crafty songwriting, core country storytelling, and crisp descriptives.” Whirlwind debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 and at #3 on Top Country Albums. Decious also co-wrote the lead-off track “Armadillo” from Miranda Lambert’s highly anticipated forthcoming album, Postcards from Texas. In addition, he has worked with Tyler Halverson on his upcoming project, Western Amerijuana Pt 2, coming this October. Decious has also collaborated with a range of country artists including Ashley McBryde, The Oak Ridge Boys, Kylie Morgan, Anderson East, Paul Cauthen, and Lola Kirke, among others.
