WHAT IT IS: Alabama native Tyler Braden spent the better part of a decade developing his gritty, powerhouse vocals and expressive songcraft between shifts at the fire station. He was still serving as a first responder when he played his first date at the homegrown Whiskey Jam concert series in early 2017. Now, as a fan favorite on NBC’s American Song Contest, Braden boasts more than 100m global career streams as he explodes onto the country-music scene.
