Prior to the album, Braden released a couple EPs and a handful of singles to much acclaim - he’s been nominated for a bundle of awards, including several East Coast Music Awards , not the least of which was Songwriter of the Year . Now, look, I don’t have a crystal ball in front of me, but I’m seeing some good things in store for this collection of tunes. And, as you’ll hear in our chat, Braden thinks so too. He has put himself on a self-prescribed 3 by 30 regiment: 3 albums by the time he’s 30. And, if you ask him, he’ll be touring those albums through stadiums. Naturally. He has less than 3 years…and ticking, The man dreams big and why not - he works as hard as he dreams. Braden has the songwriting skills, the stage presence, and the sheer drive to make it happen. For my money, he’s got as good a shot as anybody. Wanna get in touch?
