"For fifteen years Reckless Kelly has been doing things their way- bucking the mainstream system and playing by their own rules by straddling the fence between country and rock as if they built it themselves." -Texas Country Buzz Magazine

Led by brothers Willy and Cody Braun, alternative country-rock outfit Reckless Kelly formed in Austin, Texas in January 1997. The root-rockers are known for the integrity of their musical approach, the hard-core energy of their live shows and the fierce loyalty of their fans. The band has also earned respect from many of their peers including singer-songwriters Steve Earle and Kevin Welch. The industry reverence is aptly summarized by Americana artist Joe Ely when he says that Reckless Kelly is "my kind of band: hell-raising, hard-playing, kick-ass songwriting, feet firmly planted in the present, but with an amazing knowledge of where it has all come from."
