About this episode

Braxton Keith discusses his new album and experiences in country music.

The Midland, Texas, native joins us in the Nashville Now cabin to talk about his new album Real Damn Deal and how he ended up onstage with Post Malone at this year’s Stagecoach. Keith also opens up about his viral moment: when he stopped a concert to admonish fans for throwing beer at the stage. With songs like “Cozy” and “I Own This Bar,” Braxton Keith is bringing old school vibes with a dash of humor back to country.
