January 3, 2013 When Brooks and Dunn broke into country music in the early '90s, they weren't the typical newcomers. Both Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn had experience as solo artists but -- as you can see in this 'Then' pic of Brooks -- they still carried themselves with some bravado. Two things have remained the same about the 'Moonshine Road' singer, however.
Kix Brooks serves up a slice of life down in the swampy bayou with his 'Moonshine Road' video. Wearing a pair of sunglasses, a trucker cap and T-shirt with an American flag on the chest, Brooks takes us on an unintentional and authentic guided tour of the sights in this fun, summery clip.
December 6, 2012 Thompson Square have earned their plaque at the Showdown Hall of Fame. The duo knocked off a fifth straight challenger on Wednesday, meaning today and tonight on Taste of Country Nights radio, two new singles will square off. It's a battle of two loud and rowdy country jams.
November 20, 2012 Kix Brooks takes a trip back to Lake Bistineau in his new semi-autobiographical single 'Moonshine Road.' The singer says the cut is based on a spot he and his trouble-making friends would take to at night. The steam is still fresh on this swampy, country-blues cut. Memories of his Moonshine Road aren't thick with moss, even though it's been a few decades since those hell-raising years.
October 17, 2012 Kix Brooks enjoyed a colorful childhood that eventually included four years at military school before heading to Louisiana Tech University as a theater arts major. He was closer to 30 years old before he arrived in Nashville and scored a songwriting gig for Tree Publishing.
Kix Brooks has a life most only dream about, but in his 'Bring It on Home' video, he shows that even the fame, music and traveling can't quite satisfy the need for someone to share it with.
October 11, 2012 High Valley fans are proving to be some of the most tenacious in country music. The trio's following has moved their new love song 'Love You for a Long Time' to a third straight round of Showdown voting. After topping hits from Little Big Town and Clay Walker, they'll be up against another modern legend on Thursday and Thursday night on Taste of Country Nights radio.
September 24, 2012 These two legends were paired up to trick fans in the video for Brooks and Dunn's 1997 hit 'Honky Tonk Truth.' Throughout the clip, one can't help but wonder if that was indeed Dale Earnhardt filling in for Kix Brooks as Ronnie Dunn's partner. Finally, at the end we're let in on the joke, as the tw
September 23, 2012 Kix Brooks is a man of many interests, and a man with an interesting background. Prior to joining Ronnie Dunn to form one of country music's all-time greatest duos, the singer fronted a rowdy group of country rock n' rollers and released a solo album. It turns out, the rowdy, brawling sound one hears on 'New to This Town' is closer to Brooks' true character -- especially his youthful character -- as we learned by playing 60 Seconds With Kix Brooks.
Kix Brooks have may performed 'New to This Town' during tonight's 'CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock,' but it's clear that the former Brooks & Dunn member is far from a novice when it comes to entertaining a Music City crowd.
