Timmy McKeever’s star is shining brighter than ever as he cements his place in the country music scene.
The breakout artist has been riding a wave of success since the release of his debut album, Devils & Angels, and now, he’s keeping the momentum going with the emotionally charged music video for his hit song, “I’ve Known Better.” The track, a fan favorite from the album, is a poignant reflection on love and regret, and the video brings those emotions to life in a visually stunning way.
Hailing from California, McKeever has been carving out a name for himself in the country music world, blending heartfelt storytelling with a modern edge. His dedication to the craft has taken him from playing intimate honky-tonks like The Maverick— the oldest honky-tonk west of the Mississippi—to opening for major names like Cody Johnson, Chris Janson, and Dylan Scott.
“I’ve always been drawn to storytelling,” McKeever shared with Celeb Secrets at CRS 2025 back in February. “Country music is about honesty and real-life experiences, and that’s what I try to bring to my songs.”
His debut album, Devils & Angels, which dropped on December 6, 2024, has already amassed millions of streams, proving that McKeever’s music is resonating with listeners far beyond his West Coast roots. His ability to connect with fans is reflected in his impressive social media reach, with over 5 million impressions and 600K interactions per month.
McKeever’s new music video for “I’ve Known Better” captures the intensity of a love that still lingers in the mind long after it’s gone. Directed by Sam Aldrich, the video weaves together intimate flashbacks and heart-wrenching moments that mirror the song’s narrative of regret and longing.
“Recording the music video for ‘I’ve Known Better’ was very fulfilling,” McKeever told Celeb Secrets. “I was able to see my song come to life just as I had imagined it. Kudos to the crew and everyone who had a hand in making this happen!”
With powerful cinematography and raw emotional depth, the video elevates the song’s impact, making it one of McKeever’s most compelling releases to date.
McKeever isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Fresh off the release of “I’ve Known Better,” he’s gearing up to drop “Tennessee Orange (Breakup Version)” on Friday (March 28). A reimagining of Megan Moroney’s hit, McKeever’s take on the song promises to deliver a fresh perspective filled with his signature emotional intensity.
“Putting my touch on this song has been nothing short of an amazing experience,” McKeever said. “I am so excited to have it out in the world — thank you to my fans for being a huge part of the reason I was able to do this.”
With an ever-growing fanbase and an undeniable knack for storytelling, Timmy McKeever is proving that he’s here to stay. Whether it’s through his soul-stirring lyrics, compelling visuals, or electrifying performances, one thing is clear—this rising country star is just getting started.
