Brad Cotter (born September 29, 1970) is an American country music singer who won the 2004 Nashville Star competition, aired on the USA Network.
From Opelika, Alabama, Cotter trained with Jerry Redd, who had performed with Elvis Presley and the gospel music group The Stamps Quartet. His first public performance was at the age of nine in a church in Columbus, Georgia. He recorded five gospel records in the next eight years, and was voted the "top child Gospel soloist in America". He dropped out of performing in his late teen years, then returned to music in Auburn, where he joined the group Silverado. The band toured with such acts as Dr. Hook, The Byrds, Vertical Horizon, John Anderson and Lorrie Morgan.
Cotter left Silverado in 1993 and moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he tried to get work as a solo act and a songwriter. He was unable to obtain a major record deal until his victory on Nashville Star, which gained him a recording contract with Epic Records, who released his debut album Patient Man in mid-2004. He was dropped by his label after one album. In 2007, Cotter signed with Adobe Road Records in Nashville, releasing another album but no single.
