After 25 years together, Reckless Kelly are calling it quits — following one final tour.
The Brauns founded Reckless Kelly in Bend, Oregon, in summer 1996 when drummer Jay Nazz happened upon Cody and Willy playing a jam session in a dive bar with two other members — but no drummer. Nazz asked if he could sit in, the Brauns said yeah, and within a year the band had a name, had moved to Austin, and had a steady gig on Sixth Street at the original Lucy’s Retired Surfer’s Bar.
Along with the Brauns and Nazz, Reckless’ current makeup includes Joe Miller on bass guitar and Geoff Queen on steel guitar. “It’s the most fun I’ve ever had playing music,” says Queen, one of Austin’s most in-demand session musicians who joined Reckless after Engleman returned to Turnpike. “These guys are laid back and funny, but they’re professional and incredibly talented.”
Long popular with other artists for his willingness to sit in with nearly anyone who asks, Cody has branched out into producing over the past year. When Clyne wanted to re-record a handful of his early songs — both from the Peacemakers and Clyne’s 1990s alt-rock outfit the Refreshments — he turned to Cody to produce “Never Thought,” which Clyne released as a single in early 2022.
“What I always liked about this band was great songs being played by great musicians,” Reckless bassist Joe Miller says. “Willy has always had something to say, and it’s not dumbed down for the lowest common denominator. You’ve got to have a brain to hear this stuff.” “I want everyone who supported us to know how much we appreciated it over the years,” Cody Braun says. “In the independent world, you survive by the kindness of others. There are people who let us sleep on couches or play their clubs when we weren’t drawing flies, and the next three years are ones we’re looking at as a thank-you to those people.”
