Braxton Keith Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

With a sound and style honed in the honky tonks of Texas and beyond, Braxton Keith is part of a new generation of country singer-songwriter – one leading a revival of its core creative tenants. Featuring an earnest love of the ‘80s country aesthetic – and all but addicted to the rush of the stage – Keith has spent the last few years of life as a proud road dog, schooling new fans of the timeless power of a revved up band and rich organic twang. But while his what-you-see-is-what-you-get approach remains firmly rooted in tradition, that doesn’t mean he’s staying put. This Warner Music Nashville newcomer lives one state line at a time. “I love the honky tonk country twang and I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” the rising star explains. “But honestly, I’m just thinking about getting up and playing another show. This is just the beginning. This is where the hard work starts.” A proud Texas native who these days splits time between San Antonio and Nashville, Keith was born in Midland, Texas, steeped in country mystique. Learning to play piano from his grandmother – a woman who loved the Cadillac cool of stars like Porter Wagoner – he grew up singing, drawn like a magnet to the sonic storytelling of gritty tunes like “The Carroll County Accident” (an all-time family favorite). Diving deep into the pure-country form, Keith picked up a guitar and soon had a taste for hard twang and tales of the heart, writing his own classically-inspired songs in a grungy, cluttered garage. He never took it seriously until college, when a friend convinced the unknown-but-obvious talent to record one – just so he’d have something to share with his future kids. “I did it – and I never stopped,” Keith says. “I caught this little honky tonk bug, and now I’m traveling the country for a living. Started out writing songs in our garage, now I’m writing songs in Nashville. It’s crazy.” Leaving school behind to earn his place in Texas’ vibrant live-music scene, Keith and a band of brothers have now been touring nonstop since 2020, racking up untold miles and hundreds of floorboard-shaking shows. Blending throwback-tonk with a sharp, barbed-wire vocal recalling stars like Tracy Lawrence (plus a little borderland buzz of San Antonio Spanish influence), Keith became a regular face in venues all across his home state, and then looked beyond. Relentless nationwide touring and a series of self-released singles and EPs have helped build a solid social media following. He arrived in Nashville for the first time in 2021, and has since been fine-tuning his natural songwriting style – timeless tunes of love, loss and life steeped in the energy and attitude of a Texan dancehall, but made for a wider audience. “There’s something romantic about the country music scene in Texas – it’s that connection with that crowd,” Keith explains. “It doesn’t matter what day of the week it is, whether it’s an old raggedy bar or wherever the hell you are, they’re going to show up, and I fell in love with creating moments with those fans. I just try to imagine it’s a 90-minute show for me, but it’s a lifetime experience for them.” Featured on taste-making playlists like Spotify’s New Boots and Breakout Country, Keith’s 2024 single “Cozy” leads the way for a new chapter, highlighting the rising star’s fresh take on a classic style. A silky-smooth two-step with an unmistakable vocal tone, the clever, co-written message of warning for a romantic rival sets Keith apart from the pack. “It’s a very different song – unlike anything I hear on country radio today,” he says. “It’s just a very honest, vibey, Ronnie Millsap-style ‘80s country song. In today’s world it’s an interesting song, and from the moment we wrote it I was like, ‘This is something special.’” More new music is planned for 2025 release, as Keith continues exploring the contours of a uniquely country sound and style. Merging past and present with the timeless edge of a band-leading troubadour, he’ll stay on the road, too, crossing time zones like he’s gliding across a honky tonk floor. “The touring never stops – especially for an artist like me,” he admits. “I hope people have a damn good time when they come out, and I hope the show was great. And if they pick up the record, I hope they get a taste of that.”
