Country-rock artist Tyler Braden is gearing up for a milestone moment with the release of his debut full-length album, ‘Devil and a Prayer,' set to arrive on May 16 via Warner Music Nashville. The 19-track album is a deeply personal project that reflects Braden’s artistic evolution and life experiences, structured to emulate the energy of a live show.
“As an artist, it’s exciting to constantly relearn who you are as you grow, and this album is a huge culmination of those moments,” Braden shares. “The whole process of a debut album has taught me so much about myself, and I’m stoked for everyone to experience who I’ve become. Front to back, it’s where I’ve been and it’s the direction I’m headed. I built it like a setlist, consistently keeping the live aspect in mind, so check it out and then come see it in person!”
Leading up to the album’s release, Braden has unveiled the anthemic new single ‘God & Guns N’ Roses,' giving fans a glimpse into the album’s bold and emotional storytelling.
