Country act Reckless Kelly playing July 21
The Mid-State Fair announced Friday that Reckless Kelly has been confirmed to perform two shows, on Monday, July 21, 2014, at 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., on the Frontier Stage. Reckless Kelly’s performances will be free with paid admission to the fair.
Austin’s own Reckless Kelly released their 8th studio album, Grammy award-winning Long Night Moon, in September of last year. The album is the follow-up to 2011′s Grammy nominated Good Luck & True Love, which took home four Lone Star Music Awards, and sent three singles to #1 on Texas Radio. When Willy Braun, frontman and principal songwriter for the band began writing songs for Long Night Moon, he quickly found a theme emerging.
“About halfway through writing this record, I noticed that almost all of the songs had something to do with traveling. Before we knew it, there was a definite theme.” It’s honest, original and constantly evolving. The group is known for their explosive live shows and a passion for making albums of substance. Long Night Moon is no exception to this rule.
