"I'm trying to bring back the traditional values of old-school country music, with a modern twist," says Braxton Keith, whose rootsy honky-tonk sound mixes contemporary hooks with the traditional twang of storytellers like Marty Robbins and Merle Haggard. It's a sound that's already taken hold in Texas, where the Midland native penned his first tunes as a teenager. Since then, the 20 something songwriter has remained busy on the road (where he drives his own tour bus from gig to gig) and the recording studio (where his debut single, "Make Up Your Mind," racked up more than 1 million streams on Spotify alone, followed by viral hits like "A Little Bit Closer," "Cold Hard Steel Sand," and the Triston Marez duet "Settle for a Beer"). Already a must-see headlining act in Texas, Braxton Keith has begun steering his tour bus across the rest of the American South, playing new songs for even newer fans. It's a long road, perhaps, but Braxton doesn't mind the drive. He's here for the long haul. Besides, he'll be writing new songs every step of the way.
