About Reckless Kelly

Reckless Kelly, the powerhouse Americana/Outlaw Country band, has been igniting stages with their fusion of rock and country since 1996. Led by Idaho natives Willy and Cody Braun, the brothers carry a musical legacy spanning three generations. Joining forces with drummer Jay Nazz in Austin, TX, they've left an indelible mark on Texas's musical landscape. Over nearly three decades, Reckless Kelly has become a staple in the Americana scene, earning a GRAMMY Award and Outlaw Group of the Year at the 2024 Ameripolitan Awards. Their annual festival, The Braun Brothers Reunion, recently celebrated its 40th Anniversary this past August, raising significant funds for their hometown in Challis, Idaho. The band recently released their 17th studio album, The Last Frontier, and is currently on the 2024-2025 tour of the same name. In addition to Willy, Cody, and Jay, the band features Joe Miller on bass and Geoff Queen on lead guitar and pedal steel. By the end of 2025, Reckless Kelly plans to step back from traditional touring while still writing, recording, and performing special live events. Willy Braun emphasizes, “We all still love playing together. It's not a full-scale retirement; we'll continue to record and perform occasionally but look forward to spending more time at home and exploring other interests.” Cody adds, “Playing to an enthusiastic audience is irreplaceable. We invite fans to celebrate with us on this tour as we move in a new direction.”
