Do and had conversations about your songs and the first thing I'm going to point out is that last time you and I did this it was just you and your acoustic guitar yes sir me my acoustic guitar and Jack yeah and now you got a whole slew Of guys added to the uh roster playing with you tonight yes sir the Contraband behind me yeah and I I kind of noticed in that last song that uh you you might have a little more trouble staying sitting down than we did last time yeah I was going to
say man this is a honky toning time we're about to have up here y'all well here's here's what I want to do I want to not lose any of The Honky Tonk absolutely but at the same time I can tell you got a lot of fans in here because a lot of people were singing along to every word of that last song and so my job tonight is to make sure we don't lose any of The Honky Tonk but everybody in here that's a Brax and Keith fan walks out of here knowing a little something
different than they do when they come to see you at a dance hall you know what I mean cuz this is a different show and as a songwriter you and I have talked about this before we don't always get that opportunity to talk about like why we wrote a song in the first place you know what I mean uh because at the dance hall we got to just keep them moving and and let everybody dance and have a good time so uh I'm glad you brought all the guys with you cuz we get to hear
the songs as you play them every night yes sir um but we get to hear the stories too so I'm going to ask you first uh about a song that I love that's uh one of your most recent singles a song called cozy I wonder if you would uh tell us tell us about that one and play that one for us I will so yeah uh I wrote cozy probably about three and A2 years years ago uh Well let me rephrase that I wrote the the chorus to Cozy 3 and a half years ago and
I posted on Tik Tok and everybody seemed to like it and uh I thought it was pretty catchy and uh man it took me about two and a half years to convince my management that we should we should go all in on this song and uh boy did did I love how it turned out I mean it's just a it's one of my favorite songs now to play in the set every night I love hearing the crowd sing it back to me is mainly why I like playing it but uh yeah cozy was written about
uh I used to play this girl's birthday party and I played it every year from when I like first started just acoustic like nobody know who I was uh and every year this girl had a different boyfriend but every year I was the singer playing the show you know and so it gave me a little bit of inspiration and uh I sat down on the front porch one day at my house in St Angelo Texas and and uh we wrote this song uh and then we ended up taking it to one of my my good
buddies in Nashville and finishing out the verses with him uh so this is one of my favorites this one's cozy y'all [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] you're holding her hand but you're thinking that you're her only man you're taking her home but you don't even realize you're alone and don't get Co CU she already told me that she and I've been kissing on you but she was still thinking about me her eyes were open wide I even got [Music] away and she might have been loving on you but she said she leave you for me said
she wouldn't pack a bag she just get up and [Music] L I hope you didn't tell you're M the things were going well I hope you didn't blow money on the rain just to hear a not and don't get cold [Music] CU she already told me that [Music] she might have been kissing on you but she was still thinking about me her eyes ROK white I even got [Music] away she might have been loving on you but she's she leave you for me so she wouldn't pack a back she'd just get up and [Music] Lan
she might have been kissing on you but she Was still thinking about me her eyes were open wide I even got a win she might have been loving on you but she said she leave you for me said she wouldn't pack a back she just get up [Music] she just get up and [Music] L you're holding her hands bet you're thinking mad you're her only man [Music] I think we actually previewed that song for the first time on real life real music the last time I was here I I think we did I think we
did so yeah man and and uh I I love the studio version uh that you guys did of that tell us okay first off I want to tell y'all this this is one of the cool things that we didn't get to say last time okay so we're going to welcome Braxton one more time and I'm Going to give him an official introduction that uh they're not going to publicly announce until uh what is today Wednesday they're not going to publicly announce it till Friday okay but because this show won't air until after that I can
say it now and not get in trouble so uh man let me introduce you to Warner Records national recording artist braxman ke thank yall thank you'all you got you a major label record deal my friend congratulations thank you'all yeah we got a lot of new music up and coming uh all y'all keep your eyes peeled we'll talk about it more later though yeah we're going to actually anybody want to hear get a sneak peek of some of what's going to come out on that record okay we will all right but for now let's uh I
I want to go I want to go backwards in time just a little bit because I think one of the things when I first met you uh that that really uh caught my attention was the fact that you're such a young guy but I could tell some of your influences were really really deep retro country guys like Marty Robbins and tell tell us a little bit about how you crafted your style you know some of the stuff you were listening to when you were a kid when you were learning how to Sing yeah so I
was listening to uh a lot of Elton John as a kid uh I was a piano player from when I was uh in kindergarten uh I played for 12 years so that was what I really wanted to do is be a rock star on the piano and uh I ended up quitting piano because uh my teacher just wanted me to learn a bunch of theory and I wanted to learn Crocodile Rock you know and so uh I started picking up the guitar and about the time that I started picking up the guitar is when country
music was really introduced to me uh my dad listen to a little bit of country music but my mom hates country music and uh she thinks it's all just sad stuff so she doesn't like it very much I never listened to uh old school country music at the house uh but my grandparents had a bunch of vinyls and so I would go over to my grandparents house and I would listen to all the the old vinyls and my grandpa's favorite is Carol County Accident and uh so we'd sit there and listen to that on repeat
and uh I fell in love with the storytelling that those guys could do and uh the way that they could describe things I mean Merl Haggard being one of the best and we we talk about that all the time is he just said it so plainly you know he just told you and it was kind of cool I mean and I thought There some of that have been lost in the current country music that we have and uh I want to introduce that to younger kids again yeah well yeah absolutely you did that in in
a phenomenal way uh so okay just real quick I want to remind everybody that if your neighbor can hear you talking we can too and everyone in Tennessee and San Louis abiso California will hear you on the recording as well so do me a favor I get to be that guy all night that says sh but for the sake of your neighbors and for everyone listening to the program please be courteous thank you cold hard steel and sand man that is a great song and it and it's like somebody dropped you back in 1950 country
music that one is one of my favorite songs uh so I just started writing at the time I'd open up for Jake Worthington in new bronal somewhere and he came up to me and said boy you got to be a sponge you got to soak it all up be a sponge don't write any shitty songs I said all right uh so I started writing with people that knew a lot more than me uh because at that time every song that I wrote I thought was good very Incorrect and uh and so I went and met
with this gentleman named Charlie Stout out of LC Texas and I fell in love with Charlie's style of writing uh but not only that I fell in love with how Honest he was he's just dead honest I played six seconds of a song to him and he's like never want to hear that again throw it away yes sir right I mean and I respect that out of somebody who can tell me straight up so we sat there in Turkey Texas Home of Bob Wills at the boot shop that's been abandoned for over 100 years now
and and we sat there for 12 and 1/2 hours and through a case of a 30 rack of Coors Light we got cold heart steel and sand man it's one of my favorite songs it's about my hometown in Midland Texas and it's kind of our take on how the oil field came to be and it demonizes the oil field a little bit cuz all of my friends growing up immediately went from high school to the oil field I mean how could you not yeah and uh it's such it's it's something that just I mean all
of those friends that I have still work in the O field today and it grabs a hold of you and it doesn't let go so I was thankful enough to get out of there unharmed but this one right here is my favorite man this one's called cold heart steel and sand y'all [Music] when the wind blows through these deser it Ms A desperate out the sound worn of a coming Storm From deep within the ground calling out to every shadow this dry and thirsty land Blood and Bone Dustin Stone good Hearts to you [Music] halfway
between for worth and El Paso West a Big Spring big lake lies a place Upon Our Planet where old seed are Rel landed thrown down to earth from Heaven's Holy G onethird of all the Angels blo their B upon the Bas blood soaked into the stone thick and black they be this Fame wealth and power and it's pumped out by the hour if you take it son there ain't no turning back Santa a number one blocking out the Evening Sun Sound of Thunder booming under sand people who came from far and wide to watch it
rain down from the sky drilling deep and need the reach of Mortal man the angels He didn't mourn when that sacred Bell was torn like blood pump from planetary crust that petroleum Blow from the bur blow and the buildings made a Stone Rose from [Music] I [Music] ly made a cold heart steel resting in the Open Fields where the pumpjacks used to Bow their heads and pray in the light of every Rising Sun here on Earth thy will be done as it is in heaven every day Spirit are on this Barren land disguises blowing desert
sand carried on the way Western freeway waiting for the lightning Flash the rising smoke smell of as crash of Thunder Underground again when the wind blows through these desert and M to desperate out a sound to worn of a coming Storm From deep within the ground calling out to every shadow this thirsty land Blood and Bone Dustin [Music] Stone good Hearts Ste you and S thank yall thank y'all yeah okay so since you brought up Charlie then uh I'm going to bring up one of my favorite songs because you brought her up too and that's
your mama that's right I mean any any self-respecting country music young man like yourself has to write a song for his mama and you wrote one called Mama song I did and I like I like this song A lot because uh again my mom doesn't like country music but I like I like to uh see my mom crying to sad country songs you know surely her taste has changed a little bit now that you're doing what you're doing I would say so her favorite country artist has always been Keith Urban uh since the beginning of
time I can remember her talking about Keith Urban uh but none of the other guys her dad listened to all that stuff and so she Associates that With the bad memories of bad times I guess and I don't know I couldn't I couldn't disagree more but this one right here I wrote for my mom y'all I don't usually play this one so I I mean I think the boys will just kind of fall in if they want to but I usually just play this acoustic so for my [Music] [Applause] [Music] mama she was born on
the plains where the Wide Open Range Rises up to the edge of the sky where the tumble weeds rolling the Buffalo Ro man the K is out through the night she turned 17 she she was R Queen but she never did turn to the crow cuz him T city lights on those West Texas nights kep a calling her closer to town she was raised up on Willie whing and J she never did learn To love s country songs she dreamed of starting a family build in a home she went off to college worked hard and
earned her degree she met her a doctor from out in for stocked and got married and she had me I grew up not KN when to wrot not KN when to ride no horse and no saddle no hat and no cat oh no breathing in Smoke from no hot branding fire I learned about a Wily willing and Jones I learned how to play all them sad country songs cuz My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys Mama try I My Mama Tried So I sit on this stage think on this guitar and sing been driving around to
every small town in a bus that just got new AC and I hope and I I pray every day I make my Mama [Music] Proud hell singing the side country song for a doy do [Music] Crow I sing about Wily willing and Jones I teach all you Sinners the inside country songs cuz My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys my mama tried my Mama [Music] Tried M please let your babies grow up to be care [Applause] yeah great anybody else got goosebumps that was that's a great song that is a great song man we wrote that
one in LC Texas on the on the stage of the blue light at like lunchtime one day I remember you telling us that story I love that song man that's a cool song the craziest part about it is that I wrote that with Charlie and he'd never met my mom he still has not met my mom You know so it's a cool song I guess for Charlie right about somebody you's never met that is funny okay so I want to uh I want to point out uh you know we talked about the band behind you
and I want you to introduce those guys in a minute but the band behind you but the crowd in front of you is different than last time we did real life real music I don't remember exactly how many people we had in here but what I want to tell you is that it has been a long time since we've sold every seat in doy do on a Wednesday night and had a waiting list in fact the last time we did it was the last time Cody Johnson did this show with me damn that's cool and
so congratulations on thank you thank you all for coming out here I appreciate all of y'all yeah congratulations on what's happening in your career right now um and and I think it's because of songs like those those last couple of songs and the new ones that you're putting out that people are paying their hard-earned money to come sit down and and uh listen to you sing man and so we're uh we're just we're just glad we get to have a front row seat to watching what's happening with your career so tell us a little bit

did not even write this song I actually I had a buddy of mine his name is Zach Meadows come and open for me at my uh soldout Green Green Hall Show a couple years back and he had never been to Texas he is from Florida uh and on the way into Texas he wrote a song called Lonely is Alone star and uh he showed it to me when he got there and I was like I mean that is just Country Gold you know it don't get no country in that and so uh we had to
cut it we absolutely had to it's one of my Favorite ones to play uh I like watching the dancers and stuff and it's cool to see like uh my favorite part is you know I can I see like kids bring their parents and stuff to the shows and they get it but like once you hit with that old school They poke their heads up real quick and they start looking around they're like what the heck so it's one of my favorite songs to play uh but they all are this is only as Alone star y'all

that's uh and you know Chris Stapleton Ronnie Dunn and Terry McBride right and uh the scariest thing you've ever heard in your entire life folks is is literally listening to a demo that you're trying to cut and it's Chris Stapleton singing it it's like why why don't I even try you know let this guy sing it and but it was Honky Tonk as hell and it was from 10 years before they had written it in 2011 I believe uh which is prettyy close to around the year country music dad and and uh so they weren't
cutting real deep country songs like that at that time so I got lucky enough that it got passed over for as many years as it did uh and Allan Jackson ended up cutting it and then uh we ended up cutting it too and it's one of my favorites you want to play that one give her a go boys [Music] [Applause] [Music] I know a place it's off down the road it ain't hard to find but it ain't on the M take you a turn when the tall corn grow out in the country boy that's where

and we're glad you made guest my very first guest was my uh song writing buddy we used to collaborate on songs together we were both at school at Texas A&M uh and that's my my my buddy Roger cger and we sold out we sold out the very first real life real music now the stage was on that wall over there does anybody remember that anybody come to Dosey Do In the State yeah it was on that wall there were only 280 seats cuz there were no seats up here and it was pushed in this direction
but the very first night of real life real music um I mean where's Gabe and all the managers I think Michael Ford might have been here you want to talk about overwhelmed a place that had never been sold out before and uh me and my buddy Roger got up and sang some songs and they were hanging off the rafters in here it was a fun crazy it was a fun night that was in March of 2007 so thank you sponsors for helping us uh make real life real music possible and I hope you guys will
listen to it after the show uh we we'll let you know when this episode's going to come out okay um now Braxton yes sir after you were here last time I had the honor of getting together with you and writing a song absolutely we did and I think it's needs to be on your next record hey I think so too it's a pretty good one y want to hear y want to hear yeah I'll play my version of it if youall want to hear it um did anybody make any dumb decisions when they were younger
I promise that none of you made as dumb decisions as the the three boys in this song I can promise you that so where were we I I drove out to the middle of nowhere to write this song with you you were Hol Up in some trailer some somewhere that's right I was in O Castel Texas anybody know where that is I didn't either it's a town of eight people it's in between Mason and Lano out there and uh it's a great place to Get away you got to write country music in the country we
did and so uh I I'll never forget I I walked in and I pitched the idea for this song to Braxton and uh he came up with the first line to this song and I thought we are off to the races oh yeah this might work this song is called Jesus on the dash is the name of it hanging in the window of the first state Banking Trust a six-man football poster it's got all three of us Johnny's girl is pregnant Billy's Bound for Uncle Sam and one night in a mcal haze we found ourselves
a plan I knew where they kept the keys to the church down by the tracks so we went and took the van parked at the parsonage out back what she lacked in speed we thought she'd make up in Surprise a get way through town Second Baptist on the side somehow we convince ourselves things will turn out well searching for some Heaven turning up Highway to Hell looking for an easy way to get a little stash with the devil in the speakers and Jesus on the [Music] de staring at that Bible head while the boys are
still inside something must be going wrong they're taking too much time the patrol turns on Main as they step into the light we load the loot aim the wheels towards the county line but small town news travels faster than an old church van between the sheriff and the DPS in a rope block got the down Billy fires a few rounds to try and get a little slack I guess we never stop to think that they'd be shoo back somehow we convince ourselves things will turn out well searching for some Heaven turning up Highway to Hell
Johnny's in the back seat bleeding on the cash with the devil in the speakers and Jesus on Das when we hit that bar ditch I knew the end was here felt like we rolled Forever Until it threw me clear I slipped across the bar wire and I headed for the sun while Billy cried and emptied out his gun yes somehow we convince ourselves things will turn out well searching for some from Heaven turning up Highway to Hell looking for an easy way to get a little stash with the devil in the speakers and Jesus on
the [Music] day hanging in the window the first a Banking Trust a faded wanted poster but it's only one of us that is that is my mom's favorite one that we have written well your mama's got good taste that's something right well put that on your record boy cuz listen I know this smoking band back here could soup that one up for us y'all could have some fun with that one 100% well man thanks for writing that let's write some more let's do it I'm down all right coming to College Station let's do it all
right you you pick one I've kind of been leading you all over the place I want you to pick a song that you want to play tell us tell us a story about it let me think of one with a good story [Laughter] then oh have any of you uh have any of you watched any of Braxton's like the The video blogs of him out on the road do any of you see those okay I listen I got a question for braxon real quick now every time I I see Braxton like if you ever meet
him at the merch table or whatever and he ever says like yes ma'am no ma'am yes sir no sir takes his hat off all that kind of stuff that's the braxon that I've met and that I know but I watched the episode of your blog video blog the other day that was a different braxon yeah and it was a Braxton that was not happy after a show did anybody see that anybody see that that video blog you were not happy and uh I I I I now know that I do not ever want to be
on the dark side of braxon and Keith so tell us tell us what happened there because I I can't even imagine you getting that mad uh but but you did well uh I I don't know I'm I'm on respect uh you know that's why I love playing the Dosey Do uh and I appreciate y'all all so much because this is really the only place that you can come in Texas I've been all over and all over the other states there's one other place that I can think of that comes anything close to this and it's
a quarter of the size and it's the Bluebird in Nashville and that's the only other place I can think of where you can go sit down everyone's quiet and they get to listen to the stories of how the songs are written so This is a very special thing that we get to do being here right now so thank all of y'all but also I consider this kind of a sacred thing to be able to get up on stage and play and uh I don't just go play Anywhere uh I don't need the money I just
want I I love this and I I'll do this because I love it and uh so if somebody's being rude or disrespects any of us uh then you get on my list and uh if you want to see what that looks like and it's I just got mad one day cuz we were being disrespected and and somebody just basically what had happened was we had some gear that got pushed over uh by some people that worked at the venue uh cuz they were upset that it was in their way uh which is totally fine as
long as you know you treat my gear with respect if it's in your way ask me and I'll move it or you know I've got a whole crew of people who will move it and uh they pushed it out of the way and kind of cussed us out and walked on by and I don't I don't deal with that very well so uh I told him that that was that was crap and you weren't going to treat me like that and uh basically the owner of the of the whole thing came up and just told
me and the band that we were all liars and it didn't happen and so I was like hm that's one thing I ain't right there for sure so we uh we made a vow that you know we weren't going to do that again we're not going to be disrespected like that and we won't play a show like that anymore so that was just me kind of putting that out there I didn't want to throw hate on the specific V or anything Like that but I just for sure I'm going to be respected yeah for sure
and the moral of that story is be nice when you go to the merch table and meet Braxton okay I'm always in a great mood after the show after the show it's I I I'm going to meet all of y'all tonight it's going to be a fun time uh but I I do appreciate that's my favorite part of all these shows is literally meeting all the fans and getting to hear like how my songs have impacted y'all's lives cuz the craziest thing is that at one point I was just a listener you know in college
I was going to shows and listening to songs from other singers and it was impacting me in such a way and so it's cool to be able to be on the other side of that now yeah yeah well cool man well if you haven't seen any of those they're they're cool his team Che out the Vlog I guarantee you some of you guys will make the Vlog they back vog the last Dosey Do was on the Vlog yeah that's right it was and this time I made sure they were upstairs with the camera and I'm
like thinking Kyle don't say anything stupid it's going to make the Vlog it's what they do you never know when you're up so uh let's see Katherine Riley W where's Katherine Riley Katherine Katherine no Katherine Katherine Riley Cameron Vandergriff are Catherine right there Katherine you got to come down here you get got to come down here and get this poster and where's uh where's Cameron Vandergriff Cameron you're right there where you at yep come down up there okay come down this and then uh Britain Kelly Brit Kelly no way no way yes way yes way
yes way that's 100% Brit will you pass those over there oh uh you're going to get a handshake from braxon and Keith I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that how about that okay as Gabe said uh at the very beginning of the show the best way to support an artist is to go Shake their hand and buy a t-shirt or a hat or something like that uh I don't know if Gabe gave his statistic tonight and I don't even remember it exactly but it's like the revenue from a t-shirt is equal to how many
streams where's Gabe how many 5,000 did he say that earlier I just wasn't paying attention dang that's crazy a't that crazy so go buy a t-shirt or uh listen to uh under them Neons 5,000 times on the way home here's all you got to do folks when you go to sleep at night put it on replay I'm just kidding okay here's here's kind of the situation that we're in right now uh you have to unfortunately uh like pick the last couple of songs that we're going to hear tonight so I'm I'm kind of giving you
the the the warning that you've got to uh uh you know narrow it down to a couple of songs so we can finish out the night here and let people come meet you over at the uh come meet you over at the merch table before we do that I I just want to say that I hope you'll always Come back here when you're putting out new records or have songs that you want to come talk about because we just love you here man you're you're you're amazing thank you and it's fun from our perspective and
I know from a fans perspective when you get to come to a smaller venue I mean Cody Johnson came back and played this show we got him one more time after he played the Astrodome you know what I mean so when you get to see an artist that's playing these huge stadiums and and doing their full band thing to come to an intimate place like this and get to kind of tap in to a little bit more of who you are what you do why you do what you do and where it comes from uh
is really special to us um as fans so thank you for taking time to come do this show tonight and and we hope you'll always come back man a I will always come back this is my favorite place to play for sure uh I love the the atmosphere in here and the fans are always great when we come in here uh and and Y the staff treats us like family so thank you you're welcome well what do you want to play play us one well I think I'm going to play us uh what are you
boys thinking give me a sunrise we're going to do uh we're going to do let me love you more and then we'll give you a sunrise now this song right here uh oh man should I tell him or not yes we just recut this song because I was unsatisfied with the way that it came out on my EP a long time ago uh so you're going to be getting a new version of this song pretty soon but this is one Of my favorite songs I wrote this about my best friend in college who actually convinced
me to start playing music live uh his uh him and his girlfriend were going through a tough time and they never been in a fight before imagine that and he was like man I just don't want somebody who agrees with me all the time though said wow you're looking for trouble aren't you buddy and he he uh he said he believed that there was somebody that loved her more than he was able to love her so this song right here is called Let Me Love You More [Applause] [Music] empty suitcase on the [Music] floor that's
