So far as I know, Braden Urevick has only released two EPs to date:
From A Hotel Room (Demo)--which you can listen to and / or download for free from /bandcamp (HERE).
There's also this video single, which I just found a minute ago...
...which has such a different sound that I wasn't sure it was the Braden Urevick I was looking for until the vocals kicked in. And I mean that as a compliment. Big props to an artist who can evolve stylistically and explore new sounds. *
And I wish there was more Braden Urevick music out there, because the 8 songs spread across these two EPs and one video are not just good, they are superb. And I'm not just saying that because my #1🌞 plays fiddle on three of the tracks on that first EP...though I will confess that that is how I came to know of Mr. Urevick. But one listen to those songs was enough to make me a true fan. I don't know how he does it, but Braden, who is a young feller, writes with the gravitas of a fifty year-old man...know what I mean? The guy has wisdom in his bones. And in his voice as well. If I didn't know that he was a college athlete, I'd think that he was putting down two packs of Winstons and a quart of Jim Beam every day, 'cause his voice has that depth and texture.
So I wish that I could tell you to go buy some Braden Urevick tunes, but that doesn't actually seem to be possible right now. But if you listen to his stuff, like his video, allathat...that helps, too. And follow him on /bandcamp.
He's on Spotify, by the way, so you can check him out there, too.
BTW, in my quest for completeness (fueled by an anal retentive heart and an OCD brain), I found this video, in which Braden plays guitar and does some back up vocals. It's Jeri Katherine Howell doing one of her own songs (with Nathan Link on bass), and I have to say...it's one of the best live performances I've ever seen. And I've seen a whole lot of live performances...starting with David Bowie in 1975, and including Roy Harper, Tom Jones, Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan, Tom Verlaine, Alice in Chains, and lots of other Really Famous People!

* And OH! Late Breaking News! You can buy the single of "Can't Help Myself" iTunes for 99¢. So do that.
