(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- The Stone Pony Summer Stage presents Warren Zeiders with special guest Tyler Braden on Friday, May 2, 2025. Warren Zeiders is one of Country music's newest and most-promising stars. Doors are at 6:30pm, showtime is 8:00pm.
At just 25, the Pennsylvania native has already made an undeniable mark on the genre, with more than 3 billion global career streams, 2 billion TikTok views and 7.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify. On March 14, he returned with a new, 21-track album Relapse, Lies, & Betrayal encompassing heartbreak, personal evolution and emotional healing.
Zeiders’ rise – coupled with his magnetic presence and gritty vocals – kicked off with the success of his debut album Pretty Little Poison (2023), which featured the chart-topping, RIAA Double Platinum-certified single “Pretty Little Poison.” The song became a No. 1 hit at Country Radio and earned him a CMT Award for “Breakthrough Male Video of the Year.”
He continued his momentum with the 2024 release of his 21-track project Relapse, a raw and emotional collection that explores heartbreak, growth, and healing. The project’s title track became the second-most-played song on all Country radio. With gritty, rock-tinged anthems like the People’s Choice-nominated “Betrayal,” Zeiders’ unique sound and emotional songwriting have garnered widespread praise. He also earned two PEOPLE’s Choice Country nominations and further cementing his starpower with appearances in GQ, Grammy.com, Kelly Clarkson, the TODAY Show, and more.
Tickets are $45 in advance (plus applicable surcharges) and $55 at the door. Tickets are available for purchase online. The Stone Pony is located at 913 Ocean Avenue in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
Opener Tyler Braden makes raw and heartfelt music that’s built for massive stages. With over 630 MILLION global streams to date, the Alabama-bred singer/songwriter is kicking off a bold new era with his forthcoming debut album a devil and a prayer due May 16. The LP is a 19-song tour de force that fully captures the formidable energy of his live show, as shown on the first released track “DEVIL YOU KNOW” (an undeniable hit that amassed over 10 MILLION views across social media in just two weeks).
Hailed as a “country powerhouse” by American Songwriter, Braden grew up in the small community of Slapout and started playing four-hour cover sets as a teenager, then continued honing his chops in between shifts as a firefighter in both Montgomery and Nashville. After signing with Warner Music Nashville, he dropped his 2023 debut EP Neon Grave and broke into the scene with lead single “Try Losing One”—an aching piano ballad that hit No. 1 on SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Countdown and earned praise from the likes of Billboard, who noted that Braden boasts “one of the most moving vocal deliveries in country music right now.”
