Warner Music Nashville’s Braxton Keith, “a devotedly country artist with the talent to join the ranks of today’s surge of neo-traditionalist hitmakers” (Billboard), is celebrating the release of his major label debut EP, Blue, available everywhere now. The six-song-set of “hardcore, traditional country music” (Rolling Stone) serves as a perfect introduction to a sound and style honed in the honky tonks of Texas and beyond. Keith is part of a new generation of country singer/songwriters “lighting up the country music world” (RFD-TV) and leading a revival of its core creative tenants. A proud Texas native who these days splits time between San Antonio and Nashville, Keith was born in Midland, Texas, steeped in country mystique. 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 has become a regular face in venues all across his home state. 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, and will continue schooling new fans of the timeless power of a revved up band and rich organic twang on Luke Bryan’s upcoming Country Song Came On Tour. More new music is planned for a 2025 release, as Keith continues 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. The contours of his uniquely country sound and style merge past and present with the alluring edge of a band-leading troubadour.
