You Can't Take This Music Away From Me: Brayden Stewart, Southern Rock Musician | The Blueprint

At 21, Brayden Stewart is already signed to Warner Chappell in Nashville and playing rock and roll "greasier than a chicken bone on the floor of a Jiffy Lube." He’s one of those rare youngsters who talks about music the way someone twice his age wishes they could.

If you follow the show, you know we love our East Texas southern rock boys! Brayden grew up in Scurry, Texas and was raised on his dad's metal records and his grandma's Fleetwood Mac, grinding through Metallica riffs before he found Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson. That became his sound: alt-country, Americana, southern rock and grunge all at once. In this episode, Brayden walks through building his band from a bedroom looping pedal at 16, the TikTok moment that flooded him with show offers from the biggest booking agencies in the world, a just-completed 8-show run through Europe with Blacktop Mojo and Gorilla Riot, writing songs in Nashville for Warner Chappell, and a deep well of music knowledge.

Be sure to follow Brayden and watch out for Gypsy’s Corner, dropping May 8!
