Brady Toops, originally from the quaint Minnesota town of New London, has carved a unique path from collegiate baseball hero to indie pop bard. Celebrated for his ninth-inning grand slam that catapulted the University of Arkansas to the College World Series in 2004, Toops played in the Minor Leagues for the St. Louis Cardinals before shifting gears to music in 2008. His musical journey took a notable turn with a 2015 stint on ABC's 'The Bachelorette,' which was followed by the critically acclaimed album, 'Tried & True,' an album so compelling that Paste Magazine even called him 'a name to watch out for.’

After a brief hiatus, Toops returned to the studio in 2023 with producer Michael McEach, marking a stylistic shift from his singer/songwriter roots to a more expansive indie pop sound. His upcoming album, “Her,” set for a 2024 release, promises to showcase this evolution. Toops’ journey from sports to music highlights a versatile career punctuated by moments of profound transformation and creative rebirth, capturing the hearts of fans across the globe. With a past decorated with athletic acclaim and musical accolades, Brady Toops is poised to ascend new heights in the indie pop scene, continually inviting listeners into his ever-evolving narrative of resilience and artistic expression.
