Robert Earl Keen

Coming out of the Texas country movement in the mid 80s, Robert Earl Keen has managed to bridge the gap between fans of traditional Nashville country--people who like back-porch, guitar pickin' as well as alt-country hipsters--with his eagle-eyed storytelling and sly sense of humor. As is true of many of his Texas contemporaries, Keen tours heavily, often treating over 200 audiences a year to his tales of lovable losers and their raucous barroom antics.
