Warner Music Nashville has signed rising honky-tonk vocalist Braxton Keith. His first major-label debut track, “Fall This Way” will feature on his upcoming EP, Blue, which is dropping on December 6.
Keith’s 80s country sound and aesthetic attracted attention to his live shows in San Antonio. He learned to play piano from his grandmother and grew up singing family-friendly tunes like “The Carroll County Accident.”
“There’s something romantic about the country music scene in Texas—it’s that connection with that crowd,” Keith said about the signing. “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.”
Braxton Keith is managed by Alex Torrez and Emily Vincent at Torrez Music Group. He is represented by Andrew McWilliams at Evergreen Artist group. Keith will next take to the stage as a headliner at The Bluestone in Columbus, Ohio on November 14.
The Bluestone is a unique venue with cathedral ceilings thanks to its origins as a 115-year-old church. He’ll also open a run of dates for Cody Johnson’s Leather Tour, which kicks off on November 15 at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center.
Keith says he’s planning on releasing more music in 2025. He’s been touring nationwide non-stop since 2020. His self-released singles and EPs have earned the honky-tonker a solid social media following. Keith first arrived in Nashville in 2021 and currently splits his time between Nashville and San Antonio—honing his songwriting talent. Braxton is a 23-year-old singer and is originally from Midland, Texas. He shares that his two younger brothers were extremely smart and athletic, while God gifted him with a love of music and playing instruments.
Keith says his musical heroes consist of country western legends including Marty Robbins, Merle Haggard, Brooks and Dunn, Hank Williams, Bob Wills, George Strait, and others.
