The Red Dirt-inspired alt-country group Reckless Kelly is led by brothers Willy and Cody Braun (born and raised in Idaho) and has resided where it belongs, in Austin, Texas, for more than 15 years.
"There is a pretty good music scene here," said Willy in a phone interview. "There are 300 bars with live music every night."
The tight-knot group's last album "Good Luck & True Love" was released all the way back in 2011, so the road warriors have booked studio time in March to begin recording a new album. Willy said the subjects will be familiar territory — "lots of stuff about the road and heartbreak" — but that he has a feeling that the band will focus on mellower material.
Probably.
"But I could write three good rockers by the time March comes around," he said.
Opening the show will be frequent tour companion Micky & the Motorcars, featuring Micky and Gary Braun, the younger brothers of Willy and Cody Braun.
Appropriately, the tour itself is called "Tour Better Than One."
