Jeff Crosby with Cody Braun

 Jeff Crosby left home at 17 to pursue a life of original music making. He hit a songwriting turning point at 22 in Los Angeles, having written two songs for Sons of Anarchy. A high-energy guitar savant, he’s played for Widespread Panic and Reckless Kelly in addition to writing with and for Willy Braun (Reckless), The Mother Hips and more. ArrowCreek and Reno residents know him as a brilliant guitar player, songwriter and performer. Having these two old friends and collaborators on our stage will be a unique and compelling event!

Celebrated multi-instrumentalist and singer best known for co-founding the Americana/Outlaw Country band Reckless Kelly, Cody Braun’s extensive repertoire of instruments includes the fiddle, mandolin, and harmonica, in addition to his acclaimed vocal talents. He and his brother, Willy Braun, created Reckless Kelly together in Stanley, ID in 1996. Reckless Kelly was named Outlaw Group of the Year at the Ameripolitan Awards in 2024. The following year, they were recognized as Entertainer of the Year at the 2025 Texas Music Chart Awards. He has collaborated with numerous artists throughout his career including Steve Earle, Robert Earle Keen, Kelly Willis and many more.
