It’s an unlikely start to a not-so-typical tale of country stardom: singer/songwriter Raleigh Keegan was born in a jail to a brave, selfless single mother and placed for adoption. “It ended up being the best case scenario - my parents are wonderful. I had an awesome childhood.” Raised outside of Cincinnati, Raleigh was the only member with any sort of musical inclination. “My birth father played guitar - that’s about all I know of where my talents come from.”
As Raleigh’s love and involvement in music grew, so did his love and involvement in sports. He played football for Georgetown College while earning a degree in Exercise Science. Raleigh balanced music and sports for the longest time. Still, his love for music far outweighed his love for sports. “There was a brief time I thought I’d go into ministry. Then I heard Zac Brown Band’s album Uncaged and I was hooked - I listened to it for six months straight. That’s when I really fell for country music.” Playing gigs every weekend he’d booked himself, Raleigh’s fan base grew - so much so, he made the move to Nashville in November of 2017.
He began writing, and though he takes inspirational cues from the likes of Chris Stapleton and Eric Church, Raleigh keeps his sound as authentic as possible. “I like a mix of old and new - I like to make music somewhere off in my own lane. With me, what you see is what you get. I’ve always just done what comes naturally to me. It’s who I am.”
