To take a line from one of Brad’s latest songs “THAT KINDA COWBOY”, Brad is a devoted family man that proves he still “gets a little rowdy when he can”. Brad celebrates this balance in his music. With all of the different influences in Brad’s life, there’s a little bit of everything in his songs. From Country and Gospel, to Blues and good old down home Rock n Roll, everyone can enjoy Brad’s music. One listen to Brad Lee Schroeder’s music and it quickly becomes evident why he is one of the most popular country artists to emerge from the Mile High city of Denver. From taking over the stage at his high energy live performances, to just playing a few acoustic tunes for friends, Brad certainly commands attention.

His brand new single “Run Devil Run” was sent to country radio early October 2014
