SLCene Suggests: Reckless Kelly at The Depot

RECKLESS KELLY, THE DEPOT, Saturday, Jan. 3, 8 p.m., $25

Talk about a family affair–this show has two bands led by by a duo of brothers, and ALL the brother involved happen to be from the same family. Reckless Kelly is an Austin-based alt-country outfit led by Willy and Cody Braun that’s been knocking out rock-solid albums since their 1997 debut, Millican, a collection that started a streak of excellent work that landed them on noteworthy roots label Sugar Hill Records and made a fan of  Texas legend Joe Ely.  Younger Braun brothers Mickey and Gary are leaders of the opening band Mickey and the Motorcars, who have become hard-touring favorities, and have six albums to their credit, in addition to a live release. Both bands have roots in Idaho and have long histories in Salt Lake City.
