Happy Birthday Linda in Nashville!
Great bucket list item! Besides, you really haven't lived until you've attended BBR! Congrats on your b-day and I look forward to seeing you when you fulfill this great promise to yourself!
SBQ Vice Queen Tammy Delilah
Today is my 50th birthday so I decided to start a live music bucket list. And the Braun Brothers Reunion is #1 on the list. Hopefully it will happen before I turn 60 !!!
I've been looking forward to this since my sister told me all about last years show. I'm bringing two friends and my girlfriend all the way from Alaska and meeting up with my folks from Oregon in Idaho. It's going to be a great trip.
Just bought my fiance and I's tickets!! WAHOO!!! I wouldnt miss this for anything.. I'm getting married the next weekend thats how much i LOVE the BBR I cant wait until Aug 11 to come all the way from Joseph, OR!!!
Thanks, Muzzie and Clayton!
I am looking forward to reading all about this year's Reunion AND hopefully being there next time.
Safe travels to everyone!
I was on the CCRuise a few years back, started going to the BBR about 4 years ago and since I cant afford both the BBR is better and cheaper! Cant wait to see you again, if you see me make sure you come up to say hi!
Countin' the days...exactly 24 days, 21 hours, 17 minutes, and 37 seconds! Excited, I would probably say that is an understatement! We have a group from Colorado, Arizona, and California going and love to drink that Shiner Bock Beer! Get Reckless!
Carol, Hey fellow Missourian, you should definitely make it a priority next year....even if you have to go by yourself, it is so worth it.
My wife and I drove our travel trailer all the way out to Challis from mid-MO last year - it was the time of our life.
We're packing 3 additional groupies, err relatives, with us for the drive this year. This time we’ve decided to stay at a B&B. Due to the limited lodging it's never too earlier to start looking for next year.
Don't worry about finding things to keep you busy…..in my opinion, the Challis area is one of the most spectacular regions I have ever visited and my time there went by way too fast
Let me know if you have any further questions - hope to see you in Challis next year.
On a related note; we’ll be in the truck on our way to Challis in 16 days
Carol
I'd book my room for next year now..Dates will be Aug 11,12,13. fly into Boise.. check out the Challis Chamber for ideas on where to stay and things to do in the area.
see ya in 2011
Muzzie
Hi Joanne, thanks for sending the posters. Got them up! Can't wait to get back to Challis!
Maureen
There is no way I can make it this year, but am putting next year's reunion at the TOP of my to-do list for 2011. Couple questions:
--when will the 2011 dates be announced?
--my present social circle doesn't exactly provide me with lots of opportunities to meet others with the same excellent taste in music, so how lame would it be to come alone (from the Kansas City area, by the way), if I get that desperate?
--how soon to make reservations for lodging (not really into the camping thing)?
--where to fly into?
--what else is there to do there when not listening to awesome music?
And to all the lucky ones going this year...have a blast; I am looking forward to reading all about it!
Tickets bought, camp spot reserved, ready to go!!!!!
just back from SFP Goodtimes can't wait 4 Reunion
Will,
we will be at the Challis Lodge hope to see you guys there!
I WANT TO! BUT I CAN'T! I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT TIME THIS YEAR. WE ARE GOING TO MISS YA.
If they can't be there this year, please, please ask Bleu & Stoney to come next year!
Looking forward to being back in Challis for a second time. Counting down the month to go...lookout Idaho, the Helmet Heads are on their way!!!!
Just happy to be coming back, no matter what beer and music is served up-- Muzzie, we plan to have a blast! Watch for our sparkly green dresses and "cannons" and save us a song to sing with you!
I have to agree that it is too bad CCRW won't be playing this year, but there are some great additions. Jason and the boys are a great show, and they'll be playing in Boise the Wednesday before. I would bet a good time will still be had...
Rick
you old Scalliwag... I am playing at RedFish Lake Lodge in Stanley during July on Wed.s at6:oopm
most everything else is private, except I'll be at Pinto Bennetts Reunion at the Boequet in Boise July 9 and 10 and will be sliding in a guest shot at Reckess Kellys Sorry for Partying show in Fairfield July 3, but thats on the low down....Then it BBR...Yea Hoo... Hope to see ya there.
Muzzie
Tony,
We don't want you there. Muzzie you put on a great show and not everyone is like Tony! If he is as big of a Red Dirt fan as he acts, maybe he should have read Ragweed's story on why they won't make it!
I will be there, because I'm a red dirt fan and love the Braun Bros. Again, Tony if you don't like it don't come. No place for whiners!!!
Muzzie,
Are you doing any gigs in Idaho before the reunion?
Rick Rogers
Boise
I have wanted to attend the Braun Brothers Reunion for many years now - one of these years I'm going to and bring my son Gus and some of my Braun brothers (Otto's sons).
Can't wait!- we come to bite the hair.. or what ever it is!
I agree with you ewok stay home more fun for us.As long as my bike gets fixed in time ill be right with you brother for the nice 8 hour tour from green river to challis cant wait.See ya then Muzz.
Hey ewok, Will, from the cruise and seen you 2 years ago at the reunion (Red Chopper) Where are you guys staying this time?? Lucy Girl I think you were on the cruise a few years ago too...
Keystone light suits me just fine...and Im with EWOK...no room for whiners!!! Us WYOMING folks just like to have fun, and dont sweat the small details!!!
All I can say to Tony STAY HOME no room for whiners at the reunin Looking Forward to another great year. #5 for us WYOMING Bunch!!!!!
Any chance we will see Stoney at the concert again this year?
So Glad to hear Cody Canada will be doing an acoustic set! Happy to see Hayes Carll will be there as well. Would love to see Wade Bowen next year, or Brandon Rhyder! Take care Ragweed boys, you deserve a rest, maybe the rest of the band will sow up as fans and bring thier kids!
PEACE~LOVE~&RED DIRT!
Tony
Really sorry that you are disapointed in our directions.As far as CCR and REK I'm afraid those
choices were made by their management, not us, we'd love to have them, but if the are not available or cancell, it is out of our hands.The coolers decision was made due to the fact that the venue does not hold a liquor licence and it was not within the law to allow them. We were really lucky to have gotten away with it for as long as we did. Now to the beer choices. Coors and Miller are one of our long time sponsors and we are obligated to have their products at the event. We realize not all the folks are as strong a suporter as we are, but, cold Coors and Miller products suit us fine. Hope this helps explain our position and that we will see you for what we think will be a great show. Take Care.
Muzzie
Very disappointed about CCRW not coming. This is the second year in a row, first no Robert Earl Keen then this, also not able to bring in coolers for something other than Coors or Keystone, will probably be there but sounds like this is going downhill, not improving.
WHAT! no low-fi I love rocking out to them you should have them back!
I love to get Reckless
No Ragweed this year? Looking forward to seeing Hayes Carll!
So sad about CCR. But totally understand. No CCR. No street dance... MMC and RK on the same night??? Spread the love..
It is with great sadness that we report that Cross Canadian Ragweed will not be returning to Challis for this years Reunion. The band has decided to take a break from touring. However, lead singer, guitarist and songsmith for the band Cody Canada will be on hand to join in the Thursday night acoustic jam with Slaid Cleaves and Hayes Carll.
We are also happy to officially announce that Friday night we will also be adding an other great Texas act, Jason Bolan and the Stragglers. We have been trying for years to get Jason to the event and this year looks like the cards finally fell in place. So that’s the latest, thanks for your concerns, questions and input.
Muzzie
Has Ragweed pulled out this year, with their recent announcement to take some time off? The list of shows they plan on completing does not include the BBR.
Just heard that Cross Canadian is cancelling a whole bunch of their tour.. Are they still gonna make the BBR? Please say yes!!
HATE TO HEAR RAGWEED CANCELLED but defineately understand they Need a break they will defineately be missed at the Reunion. Any word on who will take their place (like that could ever happen) lets rephrase that who will finish up Friday night???
Just read the CCRW e-mail,God bless em', they deserve it, but it is very dissapointing, who will replace them??
With Ragweed announcing their break from the road, are they going to make it this year? It doesn't show BBR on their list of dates that will be completed! I sure hope they make it.
Any word on the Boys from Oklahoma.....are they still going to make it this year??
will Ragweed's announcement affect their dates at BBR or not?
Okay...enough is enough! I have tried to get money for my ticket for months now. Sold exercise equipment, had a yard sale, came into some unexpected money...and everytime, I gotta spend my ticket money on something else. Sheesh!! Soooo for all you lucky folks...all 3000 of ya, have a freakin beer for me!!! Anyone wanna buy my kidney? Just kidding. I'm hoping to make it out there....
Definitely making an appearance this year! It's my birthday weekend and what better way to spend it. Gathering the Ketchum Crew and heading on over Trail Creek. Hope those Minnesota kids are back at the fishpond to play BEERDARTS! YES! Can't wait! Cheers!
hope to make it out there
Thanks for your patience.... Jason Boland and the Stragglers are now confirmed to perform Friday evening, they will replace the Guitar Pull... but we will still have the Saturday Guitar Pull....
Still tons of camping, make sure to get your tickets early and save some $$
Muzzie
jason boland & the stragglers ???
so where does Jason Boland fit into the line up? Also, I heard The Trishas!!!! is that a rumor or confirmed?
Looking forward to another fun filled outing, last year was a blast. Sunshine only this year though.
I gotta throw in the Crooked River suggestion for next year as well. Matt were you at their show in Idaho City in February? What a blast.
Any chance Jason Boland will be added to the lineup?
JASON BOLAND AND THE STRAGGLERS!!!! This is defineately going to be a year HELL YES
I'm looking forward to hearing Ragweed and Asleep at the Wheel and all the rest singing Take Me Back to Tulsa. Should be a great show!!
Very excited about Jason and the boys! Good score!
Noboby criusin n boozin. Dickson aint gettin Vegas done. Yet them Braun Bros never fail....Oregon crew gonna bring it as always. All Hail my Veterans,Muzzie , Bands, Broncos,Grizz...and all them fine folks in Challis.
So excited to make it to Challis! Loved RK since 98 or so.... and with Two Tons on the same night! AWESOME!!! My dream concert has always been, Two Tons, Robert Earl Keen and Reckless Kelly all in one show! Sounds like I missed my shot at that last year... Was Robert Earl there? Dagnabit! Wisconsin will be representing! Can't wait!
Got to come all the way from VA to see our boys!!! CAN'T WAIT!!! See yall soon! Judy and Lori
Looking forward to another year of great music, hopefully without rain. You all take care, see you in August.
Mary I disagree - hard hats are a must. You know, it only hails in Challis at the BBR (so I've been told)!
We are excited for the 2010 reunion!
Not sure if we purchased tickets or not, though, I clicked purchase and nothing happened.
Texas boys be there again
I'm a little confused as to why Asleep at the Wheel is the headliner for the first night....Why not have Micky & the Motorcars in this spot??? If there is some scheduling conflict, I really think the Randy Rogers Band is a little more deserving than Asleep at the wheel...after all they are willing to take a beer bottle in the head and still come back to play for us
Heading to Challis from Painted Post, NY for the first time this year.....can't wait!
Counting down the days!! We are flying in from Rochester, NY for our first BBR and can not wait!!!
This is my first year going and i can't wait for August to come!!!!!!
Just bought the Tix... Northern MN rides to ID again! Can't wait to meet up with the fishing pond friends. We may have forgotten eachothers' names, but I doubt anyone forgot the BEERDARTS!
Good times, and great music - we'll have em all in Idaho.
...Where's Pinto this year?? ...and how about having Kip Attaway do a set of his stuff, think it'd be a great addition and he's always there anyways?
see ya'll soon!
Bonnie
Try clicking on Buy CDs page here on the web site. Or substitute the B in Buzzy for an M as in Muzzie... Thanks
tried to find buzziebraun.com to purchase a CD but it brought up a search engine.
sweet!
Great idea to have the e-ticket....save some money on shipping and handling. Way to go, Muzzie! Looking forward to another great BBR!
So bein a Texan living in ID, it seems to me this lineup could include more Idaho (or regional) bands. Sure there are a couple, but it's mostly Texans. What gives? Kudos on Frim Fram Four however! And God bless Billy Joe Shaver- my favorite uncle!
See y'all at The Kasino...
Love it, but where's Dale Watson, Robert Earl Keen, and George Devore?
Yippee! It's that time again...I would love to see Stoney play another round! He was awesome last year. And I agree that there should be a female vocalist in the line-up somewhere. Regardless, me and my sis will be there with bells on......Look out Challis!
Excited for another great year. The only thing that might make it better is another local band like Crooked River from Idaho City. These guys are a lot of fun and could really fit well in the line up. Check them out for next year. Cheers.
Can't wait to come back this year. Last year was great fun! Tom won a fly rod in the raffle, too, so he's anxious to come back and use it this year.
This will be our 3rd year and this years lineup looks like the best yet. We're looking forward to seeing and hearing all the great music. We're hoping for clear skies, pyrotechics are great to watch from the inside. And if your taking any requests for the future, let me 2nd Vickie's comment, Bleu Edmundson.
Thank you to all the bands for coming back yet another year to our wonderful little town of Challis! We appreciate this Reunion!!!!!
Would totally dig seeing Shooter Jennings at this concert. I saw the Damphools at Pengillys and they would be a cool addition to this already sweet lineup.
Great line up!Will be back!Ryan Bingam???I would much rather see Pinto Bennett or Cowboy Cadillac!!
Can't wait! This will be my 5th year in a row! Lineup is AWESOME! I agree the having both RK and MMC play the same night is awesome but think MMC should be headlining. Glad to see Hayes added >>AWESOME
Hey everyone, there's a Facebook group started "Who's going to The 2010 Braun Brothers Reunion?" Should be a great page to meet friends, old and new and pre-plan a lil mischief for this coming August.

I hate to say anything critical, because the line-up really is great, but there is not one female singer as far as I can tell. There is some awesome female alt-country out there these days- would be great to have some representation at the best party in the West!
Ah... No Stoney? You have to have Stoney!!! I agree with Desirae... I may cry also!
Curious as to why MMC and RK play the same night.....granted this is gonna be an awesone night but I think they both should headline. Asleep at the Wheel can be replaced...right??????
Hope we can make it this year.
We're had a great time last year, and are coming out from Missouri again this year! Hope you can get Stoney LaRue, Wade Bowen or Jason Boland to be there, and we don't need the hard hats again!
Stoney LaRue was great last year; think he would be great to see again at BBR! Or maybe Wade Bowen or Bleu Edmondson?
Can't wait!
BOLAND PLEASE!!!! I can't wait! It will be my first time but I know it will be a blast!
got hotel(hopefully) and the go ahead from the boss...
lookin forward to good times in challis.
Stoney isn't in the lineup!! I may cry....
WOOOH!!!
WOOH!!! WOOH!!! This is gonna be the first year I attend.....I'm already excited!! Looking forward to a good time with great folks and awesome music!!
Yeeeehawwww!!!!! Can't wait for the BBR 2010~I have been to this event for the past 3 years! It's awesome!!!!! Can't wait for this year...didn't see Mickey & The Motorcars on the lineup....hmmmm......
Im hopin those tbas could be ray wylie hubbard and robert earl keene
Love the line up so far!!! Thanks for always putting together a great weekend. Super pumped for the accoustic set on Thursday!
Lineup is looking pretty solid. Asleep At The Wheel and Two Tons... very nice. How bout some Brandon Rhyder or Wade Bowen?
I hope to make it to the reunion this year for the first time. My sisters have been coming from Idaho Falls for years and I haven't been able to get there from Eugene yet...hope to see you in August.
Is hoping Stoney and Jason Boland get added to the line-up.
