The duo that turned Nashville songwriting into arena-sized country anthems.
For the full picture, start with 'Neon Moon' and 'Brand New Man'. That's where their sound clicks into place.
They gave country radio songs like 'Neon Moon' that felt both traditional and ready for a Saturday night. Their sound mixed rock elements with the kind of storytelling that stuck around. Even after Ronnie Dunn's vocal cord hemorrhage in 2004, they kept performing with the same energy that made their live shows a draw.
Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn met at a Nashville nightclub in 1989 and started writing together. Their debut 'Brand New Man' hit in 1991, and they kept recording staples like 'Red Dirt Road' before eventually stopping regular touring in 2010.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
