Brooks & Dunn are an American country music duo consisting of vocalists and songwriters Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn. Formed in 1988 on the advice of record producer Tim DuBois, the pair had each pursued solo careers with moderate success in the 1980s before joining forces.
The duo is notable for being one of the most successful acts in country music history. They have achieved widespread commercial success and critical acclaim, amassing a significant number of chart-topping hits and awards over their long career, which has solidified their status as genre icons.
Recently, Brooks & Dunn have maintained a prominent presence in the music scene. In late 2025, they set a new record by winning their 16th CMA Award for Duo of the Year. They have also been announced as special guests on several major concert dates for superstar Morgan Wallen's 2026 tour.
Beyond performances, the duo has been featured in news for commenting on broader industry issues, such as publicly warning fans about the dangers of AI-generated misinformation. Their enduring influence is further highlighted by their continued inclusion in discussions about significant country music themes and lyrics.
