Beau braswell
It's not easy to catch up with a platinum-selling music artist, however when you are also a motorcycle champion it can be nearly impossible. Beau Braswell's tuned up two-wheeled journey began in Nashville, Tennessee with early success, becoming the AMA (American Motorcyclist Association) champion at nine years old. Turning pro at the age of eighteen and riding for Yamaha Motor Company, Beau raced to six AMA National Championships and two AMRA World Racing titles. In his last year of competition in 2018, while riding for Suzuki Motor of America, Braswell won his third consecutive Sturgis Moto Stampede Championship. While his racing accolades were enough to hang his hat on Braswell also began writing songs in his teens. Soon he mixed his passions in the 2011 platinum-selling album, "Time to Ride." The album is a musical two-wheeled journey that was sold exclusively at Harley-Davidson dealerships worldwide. This was the kickstart to Braswell's musical career and soon he was opening for country music legends such as Hank Williams, Jr., David Allan Coe and Willie Nelson. Soon Braswell would be selling out motorcycle festivals with his own legion of fans from both country music and motorcycles. Braswell gained future notoriety when his song "Sideways" became the theme song for AMA Pro flat track opening the show each week on NBC sports. Braswell's music and motorcycles were recently featured in the AMA Motorycle Hall of Fame. This past year Braswell has jumped onto the big screen, acting in films with stars such as Mario Lopez (Steppin' Into the Holidays), Academy Award winner Jessica Chastain (George and Tammy) and more. Braswell is currently working on his country music debut with Mills Logan and Keio Stroud scheduled for spring 2025 If history repeats itself we know it will be a winner.
