GUARDIAN TALK WITH BRAD AND JOE 2/25/17

Bronco Jr. was born on August 14th, 1983 in Charlotte, NC. Raised mostly in the Low Country of South Carolina around Charleston, he developed a taste for travel and music .His mother and stepfather moved around a lot for work,so he became used to the road at a young age. Moving from town to town became second nature and still is to this day. In his entire life he has claimed residency in 8 different states and three different countries around the world. You could definitely say he is what Dierks Bentley might call,a modern day drifter.
?First picking up a guitar at age fifteen while attending his sophomore year at Camden Military Academy in South Carolina, he learned to play very quickly. There was a uniqueness in his playing, a sort of ‘out of the norm’ for a kid his age. He learned how to play Bluegrass, Country and Southern Rock as well as keeping up with the current Alternative Rock that was on the radio at the time.When you listen to Bronco’s “I Miss You Baby”, you wouldn’t think that it was the first song he ever wrote. But, then again, it makes sense when you hear the Rockabilly and Bluegrass influence of the guitar licks and progression. Shortly after moving to Florida in 2002, Bronco found himself joining the Marine Corps in 2003 and would soon after see 7 months of combat action in 2006-2007 as a Machine Gunner in the Al Anbar Province of Iraq.

Starting from humble beginnings in 2004 inside of an 18' food trailer Chris's Curbside Grill was born. Chistopher Hicks, a United States Marine Veteran only 26 at the time, was on a mission to bring amazing and flavorful food to his guests. Little did he know that 12 years later his sauces would become a staple enjoyed by millions around the world in the comfort of their own homes.
