I digress.Next was the show at The Parker Playhouse in Ft. Lauderdale three days later. We danced a lot obnoxiously right there up front! He can write too. Although both his albums and live performances span many different styles, from folk, country, and bluegrass to rock, he is most commonly affiliated with the Americana genre. Wish we could have been able to speak with them.Texas born Robert Earl Keen Jr is an all American country singer from everything to his name to his style. Robert Earl Keen was awesome.
"Gringo Honeymoon" followed a year later, which featured the guitar talents of Gurf Morfix.Keen continued to grow in popularity release after release, with a relentless touring schedule that would often see him attend over 200 dates a year bolstering his presence on the country music scene.
These two do not disappoint and highly recommend if you haven't seen them together that you make a point of doing so!Damn!
We never left our seats and it was such a blast.
All I could envision was the mandolin played dressed up as Johnny Paycheck at the Ryman! We knew it was going to be a completely different type of concert.When the band took the stage opened with "Shades of Gray" the crowd was on their feet immediately. The great friends came out & talked & sang to us like we were in their living room. Robert Earl Keen, Jr. "My sister was a couple years younger than I was, and she was like the world-champion In 1978, Keen graduated from Texas A&M and moved to That same year, he began making his self-produced first album, Keen returned to Texas 22 months later after failing to find mainstream success, though in Nashville he had signed a publishing deal, a new independent label deal and a national booking agent (Keith Case).
The natural "banter" between these two long-time friends is authentic and makes for a unique experience. Can't wait to see them again together or on their own!! However, they are also incredibly easy to listen to and have an old world feeling to them that can really be appreciated. To hear both sing and then they would take turns doing my favorite songs. But we all made it safe.The crowd at the show was such a fun crowd.
Debuting with 1984's No Kinda Dancer, the Houston native has recorded 18 full-length albums for both independent and major record labels. The audience are ecstatic about the genius that they are witnessing. Again, the John Anderson song.This concert was COMPLETELY different.

And he has so many songs, he cant include the favorites of everyone in the crowd. Robert Earl Keen is one of our generation's most prolific songwriters. He attended Sharpstown High School, graduating in 1974. As a teenager, Keen was an avid reader who excelled in writing and literature classes, and a fan of both the English rock band His younger sister, Kathy, introduced him to the Houston music scene in the early seventies. The band added some different songs to the set we had seen a few days before, mixed it up.
I was surprised that the encore did not include Merry Christmas. the crowd was more subdued than the crowd in Jacksonville.
The set included many of the fan favorites as well as a few surprises.
They never stopped clapping, dancing and singing.One of the things we were very impressed with was the opening act was a local artist that was given the opportunity to play three songs before the main act.
It was quite late by the time Keen started to learn the guitar, waiting until he had started attending Texas A&M University, although he was a keen writer of poetry all throughout high school.He recorded his self-financed debut album, "No Kinda Dancer," in 1984, which made a splash on the Austin, US, music scene. His songs have had cover versions recorded by many musicians, including George Strait, Joe Ely, Lyle Lovett, The Highwaymen, Nanci Griffith, and the Dixie Chicks. We LOVED the show.
Both artists were funny, professional & entertaining. Tracks such as ‘The Road Goes on Forever’ and ‘Corpus Christi Bay’ have a melancholy feeling to them that adds another dimension to his music and makes them quite emotive. Ive seen Robert Earl Keen probably 8-10 times but I've never seen Lyle Lovette beforeI love REK and liked Lyle a lot but after this show I love 'em both! He has an older brother and a younger sister. We just can't make the Franklin, Tenn. shows.
Again there was a duo that opened from the Hollywood, West Palm Beach area. Find news, tour dates, music, albums and more at his official website.
They played off each perfectly.
This guy can sing!
