Brooks & Dunn is a duo made up of Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn, and in photos or performances, Dunn is almost always the primary lead singer while Brooks is the more energetic, guitar‑slinging partner beside him.

Who is Brooks?

  • Kix Brooks is the one usually in a cowboy hat, often moving around more, playing guitar, and talking to the crowd a lot.
  • His vibe is more high‑energy showman, and in many promo shots he’s the one looking more animated or mid‑motion.

Who is Dunn?

  • Ronnie Dunn is the taller, more laid‑back looking one, known for his big, powerful voice and for singing lead on most of their biggest hits like “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” and “Believe.”
  • In photos, if you spot the guy front and center at the mic doing the main vocals, that’s almost always Dunn.

Easy way to remember

  • Think: Dunn = the main voice , Brooks = the animated guitarist hyping up the stage.
  • Many write‑ups literally describe them as “the laid‑back Dunn singing and the wildly energetic Brooks playing guitar,” which is a handy mental snapshot.
