Brady Seals
Brady Seals brings a new twist to the old country sound.
Brady Seals was born into the music business, following his uncle Troy and other Seals, Jimmy, Dan, and Chuck – all Seals with music in their blood. From early Pentacostal piano-playing at the age of nine, to his first stage performance at the age of 16 doing “Purple Rain” by Prince, complete with full costume and staging, Brady had already begun a life of music from a young age. This led to touring full-time at only 16, when Brady began a life immersed in his music and various projects. Saying that the transitions between projects are “on time, whenever they come, its on time,” Brady cruises the fringes of the country genre, morphing his sound toward whatever seems right at the moment. By the age of only 21, Brady had aimed his band, Little Texas, all over the country and had gained three #1 hits which he co-created, “My Love,” “What Might Have Been,” and “God Blessed Texas,” Little Texas sold more than six million albums, received two Grammy nominations, and was voted ACM’s Vocal Group of the Year Award.
In the mid 90s, Seals broke out to follow a solo career, producing his album The Truth. Brady attracts the talents of phenomenal artists for his own albums, such as Bela Fleck, Vince Gill, and Ricky Skaggs, flowing from country to pop/rock to Americana. As the early millennium rolled in, Seals formed the band Hot Apple Pie, opening for Tim McGraw and Keith Urban on tour, and enticing Willie Nelson to join them in the studio to produce a self-titled album, Hot Apple Pie. The band was recognized by the Neilson SoundScan, which tracks sales of music and music video products, as the best-selling debut country group of 2005.
Playing the country boy persona, Brady infuses pop, country, rock 'n roll, with some honky-tonk thrown in to all of his shows. Known for tight harmonies and energetic intensity, Seals never fails to bring his skill and enthusiasm to every performance, giving a new twist to the old country sound.
