RECKLESS KELLY
Americana/Outlaw Country powerhouse band Reckless Kelly has been burning up stages with their high-energy blend of rock and country music since 1996. Fronted by central Idaho natives Willy and Cody Braun, the brothers are part of a rich musical legacy that spans three generations.
Venturing from their Idaho roots, the Brauns made their mark in Austin, TX, twenty-nine years ago, teaming up with drummer Jay Nazz. Nazz's decision to join the band, just 5 credits shy of a college degree, marked the beginning of a journey that would forever alter Texas's musical landscape. Over nearly three decades, Reckless Kelly has not only become an integral part of the Americana music scene but has also earned prestigious accolades, including a coveted GRAMMY Award, Outlaw Group of the Year at the 2024 Ameripolitan Awards and more recently, Entertainer of the Year in the 2025 Texas Music Chart Awards.
The band's impact extends far beyond their acclaimed recordings. Their annual festival, The Braun Brothers Reunion, celebrated its 40th Anniversary in 2024 and recently announced its stellar 2025 lineup for August 7-9. The three-day event in Challis, Idaho, brings incredible artists to Cody and Willy’s hometown and raises a significant amount of money for the local community.
In 2024, the Americana legends released their 17th Studio album, The Last Frontier which features two #1 hit radio singles - "Keep Lookin' Down The Road," and "What's Left of My Heart." It's also the name of their current tour which features dates at select venues and festivals including The Ryman Auditorium, Braun Brothers Reunion, Billy Bob's Texas and more. In addition to the band's core trio of Willy and Cody Braun and Jay Nazz, they are joined by Joe Miller on bass, and Geoff Queen on lead guitar and pedal steel.
At the end of 2025, the band will turn the page on a new chapter, stepping back from traditional touring. Members still plan to write, record, and release new music as Reckless Kelly during this hiatus. They will perform a handful of special live events while also focusing on exciting solo projects, visual art, record production, and management endeavors.
Lead singer Willy Braun offers insight into the band's decision, “It’s important to us that our fans know that we all still truly love playing with each other. At first glance, it looks like a full-scale ‘retirement,’ and that’s not exactly accurate. We’ll still continue to record music and perform live on occasion, but after 30 years on the road, we are looking forward to pulling back the reins a bit, spending more time at home, and exploring our other interests.” His big brother Cody agrees, adding, “The satisfaction of playing a great show to an enthusiastic audience is something that can’t be duplicated. We are inviting fans to come out and celebrate with us on this tour as we move in this new direction."
