New Braunfels: Braxton Keith at Whitewater Amphitheater
June 13 @ 7:30 pm
Texas has a long history of producing country music’s next big thing. Right now, that next big thing goes by the name Braxton Keith. On Saturday, June 13, 2026, he takes the stage at Whitewater Amphitheater in New Braunfels, Texas at 8 PM. Joining him are openers Mae Estes and Chandler Pearson — two rising artists making serious noise of their own. This show already sold out at the box office, so StubHub stands as your only path to the riverbank.
Braxton Keith hails from Midland, and his music proudly reflects that fact. He didn’t grow up in a musical family. A college roommate at Angelo State University heard Keith singing through a dorm room door and pushed him to perform publicly. He took that chance and never looked back. Keith spent years honing his craft in West Texas bars and dance halls. Then, in 2024, everything shifted.

His single “Cozy” caught fire on social media and launched his career into a whole new orbit. By the end of 2024, he signed with Warner Music Nashville, which released his EP Blue. Furthermore, his debut album Real Damn Deal arrived in 2026, led by the viral breakout “I Own This Bar.”
A Debut Album Built for Texas Dance Floors
Real Damn Deal showcases every classic country sound under the neon — from Texas honky-tonk to Western swing — all delivered with his crisp, high-and-lonesome twang. The fiddle and pedal steel guitar aren’t just part of the production — they’re members of the band. Consequently, when you hear a Braxton Keith song, you never wonder whether it’s country. You already know.
The critics noticed immediately. Rolling Stone included him in their list of “Country Albums We’re Excited to Hear in 2026.” Amazon Music named him a “2026 Artist to Watch.” His breakout single “Cozy” earned RIAA Gold certification. Additionally, Keith logged over 130 shows in 2025, supporting Cody Johnson, Gavin Adcock, and Luke Bryan while extending his own headlining tour. He also made his Grand Ole Opry debut and performed at Stagecoach Festival earlier this spring.
Keith spent the post-pandemic years finding his sound in Lone Star State bars and dance halls before catching fire nationally. Therefore, a show at Whitewater Amphitheater — on the banks of the Guadalupe River under a Texas summer sky — feels like exactly the right setting. Whitewater holds 5,600 fans on the banks of the Guadalupe River, below the canyon bluffs, in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. It’s one of the most beautiful outdoor stages in the nation. Combine that with a debut-album artist at full momentum, and you get the kind of Saturday night people talk about all summer long.
Doors open at 6:30 PM, so arrive early to grab your spot, get a cold drink, and settle in before the openers kick things off. Parking runs $20 (credit card only). A clear bag policy applies.
