Reckless Kelly

From its roots as a barnstorming Idaho outfit to its modern-day status as a torchbearer for independent Americana music from coast to coast, Reckless Kelly has tied Austin rock and cowboy poetry together seamlessly for more than 25 years. Fronted by central Idaho natives Willy and Cody Braun, the band’s rich musical legacy spans three generations. They have 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 Entertainer of the Year in the 2025 Texas Music Chart Awards. After playing about 200 shows a year for most of their career, they officially retired from touring at the end of 2025, but will continue to work on group and solo recording projects as well as playing live at occasional events.
