Neo-traditional country artist Braxton Keith is kicking off 2026 with major momentum, unveiling an extensive slate of first-quarter headlining tour dates under the banner This Ain’t My First Tour Tour Continued… The newly announced shows will take him across the United States and overseas through March, with additional dates expected to be added. The announcement follows a landmark year in which Keith performed more than 130 shows and solidified his reputation as one of country music’s most compelling live performers. Tickets and tour details are available at braxtonkeith.com.
The tour news arrives on the heels of a milestone moment for the Warner Records Nashville rising star: his Grand Ole Opry debut on Tuesday, October 28. During the appearance, Keith was surprised with a plaque recognizing the Gold certification of his hit single ‘Cozy,' which has now surpassed 100 million global streams.
Keith’s cover of George Strait’s classic ‘The Chair,' released October 7, has also continued to fuel his rapid ascent. The track exploded online following a viral live performance and amassed more than two million global streams in its first week, marking the strongest debut of Keith’s career while honouring the 40th anniversary of the beloved country hit.
Recognized as one of Nashville Briefing’s 25 Artists to Watch in 2025, Keith also earned a spot in Dickel Whisky’s Class of 25 earlier this year, joining a roster of rising country artists including Kaitlin Butts and Tyler Halverson. His debut EP, ‘Blue' has garnered praise across the industry, with Rolling Stone calling it “hardcore, traditional country music” and Billboard describing it as “a slab of stone-cold country… forged from the depths of the Texas honky-tonk circuit.” American Songwriter similarly praised Keith for his “smoky baritone” and ability to blend classic crooning with Texas twang.
