Braden Rumfelt - Swing batter, Sing!!!

Braden Rumfelt ***1/2, a Top five finalist from American Idol season twenty-four, grew up surrounded by Bluegrass Gospel music, singing in church and performing with The Rumfelt Family Band. Cool, confident, and easygoing on the red carpet, Braden shared that music wasn’t always his first dream. As a kid, he hoped to play baseball, but after undergoing major lower-leg surgery, his path eventually led him to music.

Taking the stage, Braden showcased the smooth vocals that made him a fan favourite, performing 'Girl Crush' by Little Big Town. After his set, the fun continued when he was handed a giant inflatable baseball to toss into the crowd. Proving he still has a pretty good throwing arm, the ball sailed all the way to the middle of the audience.

With his popularity continuing to grow after American Idol, Braden appears to have an exciting future ahead as talks of a major Nashville record deal continue to circulate. But I think with his growing popularity, you will be seeing him on a lot of shows. And will be hearing him on the radio loads, in the months to come.
