Braxton Keith calls San Antonio home, but the 20 something songwriter hasn’t spent much time
there in recent years. As one of the newest exports of Texas’ country music scene, he leaves
town nearly every weekend, driving his band — and his own tour bus — toward the next show.
“That bus is actually the only vehicle I own,” he says. “I drive it everywhere I go.”
Whether he’s onstage or behind the wheel, Braxton doesn’t just play country music. He lives it.
Inspired by the traditional twang of storytellers like Marty Robbins and Merle Haggard, he
writes songs that blend modern sounds with the best elements of old-school country. It’s a
balance of the contemporary and the classic, glued together by a proud Texas native who’s
learned to create autobiographical music about universal experiences. “These are songs about
love, heartbreak, and drinking, which are things everybody knows about,” he explains. “I’m not
the only person to write songs about those things. But I’m the only person to do it my way.”
Born and raised in the West Texas town of Midland, Braxton grew up playing piano. His
parents were dentists. His brothers were athletes. Nobody else in the family wrote songs, but
that didn’t stop Braxton from penning his first tunes as a teenager. He began playing guitar
during that time, too, laying the foundation for the country sound he’d eventually pursue as a
hard-touring road warrior. “When I starting writing my own songs, I wasn’t trying to be in the
music industry,” he explains. “At least not yet. I was just doing it because I loved it.”
