Willy Braun

Singer/songwriter Willy Braun and frontman of the Americana band Reckless Kelly, has been igniting stages with a high-octane mix of rock and country since 1996. Fronted by Idaho-born brothers Willy and Cody Braun, the GRAMMY-winning band planted roots in Austin after teaming up with drummer Jay Nazz, quickly becoming a cornerstone of the city’s music scene.

Over nearly three decades, they’ve earned a GRAMMY Award, Outlaw Country Group of the Year (2024 Ameripolitan Awards), and Entertainer of the Year (2025 Texas Music Chart Awards). Their 17th album, The Last Frontier (2024), delivered two #1 singles—“Keep Lookin’ Down The Road” and “What’s Left of My Heart”—and fueled a national tour that includes headlining AmericanaFest, a sold-out Ryman show, and appearances at Sony Hall and PBR Gambler Days.

Their beloved Braun Brothers Reunion Festival in Challis, Idaho, continues to spotlight top Americana acts while raising funds for their hometown. As 2025 marks both the band’s 30th anniversary and the 20th anniversary of their landmark album Wicked Twisted Road, soon available on vinyl for the first time ever, Reckless Kelly prepares to take a step back from traditional touring after wrapping The Last Frontier Tour.

The band features Willy and Cody Braun, drummer Jay Nazz, bassist Joe Miller, and guitarist Geoff Queen. Learn more at www.recklesskelly.com.
