Tyler Braden didn’t always think he’d have a career in music. The country singer actually got his start in the fire service. There, he learned that the simplest path is usually the best. It’s an approach he took to launching his country music career in Nashville, but he also brings the same ethos to cooking. Tyler loves creating straightforward-yet-delicious meals like Chicken and Dumplings, a recipe popular in his tiny Slapout, Alabama hometown. In this episode of Hometown Sounds, find out about Tyler Braden’s trajectory from firefighter to touring musician while also learning about why Straight Talk Wireless should be your go-to wireless plan, just like how Chicken and Dumplings is Tyler’s go-to meal. #MyStraightTalk Subscribe to UPROXX for More: https://goo.gl/wWFK2D Check out more of UPROXX here: http://uproxx.com/ https://twitter.com/uproxx https://facebook.com/uproxx UPROXX: The premier news and culture platform for the digital generation.
