KEENIE WORD
Nashville-based country artist Keenie Word brings a rich blend of tradition, grit, and heart to her live performances and studio.
Keenie has shared the stage with Martina McBride, The Band Perry, LoCash, Chris Cagle, Neal McCoy, and Joe Diffie to name a few, and has performed alongside legends like Linda Davis and Janie Fricke. She's appeared at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas during NFR week and at Professional Bull Riders (PBR) events nationwide. Her collaborations include writing and recording with Grammy-winning songwriter Paul Overstreet, known for iconic hits like "When You Say Nothing At All," "Forever and Ever, Amen," and "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy."
Raised in South Dakota on her grandparents' ranch on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Keenie grew up in the saddle, surrounded by legends. Her father, Grady, is a former PRCA steer wrestler, and her mother, Kelli, is a South Dakota Rodeo Hall of Fame All-Around Cowgirl. An enrolled member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, Keenie's heritage is as diverse and dynamic as her sound.
With a deep love for songwriting, Keenie's self-penned "Bring It On Back" was recorded by Sony/Provident artist and The Voice Season 12 finalist Brennley Brown. Another original, "I Just Wanna Be A Cowgirl," was featured in a SAYiWONT documentary that debuted on the film festival circuit in 2020.
Beyond the stage, Keenie connects with audiences at women's conferences across the U.S., co-hosting alongside award-winning artist Susie McEntire. One of her most meaningful honors was touring Africa with Armed Forces Entertainment, performing for U.S. troops at remote military bases.
Keenie is currently writing and recording for a record to be released later this year.
