The two Texas songwriting legends share a forty-year friendship. This fall, they’ll also be sharing the stage. When fellow Texans Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen go on tour together this fall, it’ll be the latest chapter in a friendship that began when they were students at Texas A&M University. Back then, they’d sit on the porch of the house Keen rented and trade songs, just as they’ll be doing on stages around the country beginning in October.

OffBeat Magazine Article By: John Wirt Robert Earl Keen’s never had a hit—at least not in the traditional chart-topper sense. And he didn’t wear a hat for every album cover, show and publicity shot. He tried but failed to make it in Nashville. None of that matters. Keen’s songs about the good times and the hard times, and his sardonic wit, amiable stage presence and devotion to the road earned him loyal fans from coast to coast.

Wildlands Festival raises $15K for area nonprofits By Bay Stephens EBS Staff Writer BOZEMAN – The Wildlands Festival on Aug. 10 at Montana State University raised $15,000 for three nonprofits that work to protect and preserve Montana’s wild and open spaces: Yellowstone Forever, Montana Land Reliance and Gallatin Valley Land Trust.

One of my favorite jokes goes like this: How do you know someone’s from Texas? They’ll tell you. But another surefire way to tell someone’s from Texas is their attendance at a Robert Earl Keen show—and last night the Lone Star State was packed in at The Commonwealth Room to see one of their own in action.

By Rick Koster Day staff writer Well, as of 9:55 p.m. Sunday night, inside the Knickerbocker Music Center in Westerly, there were no scientists or skeptics in sight. Instead, as a houseful of happy fans bellowed lustily along with Keen through his set-ending anthem, Sherry the waitress was still driving a brand-new Benz and martyred bad-boy Sonny was still on Death Row. That's what Keen and his band bring, night after night, song after indelible song.

If you know Keen's work — and his insanely good band — you've already got your tickets for Sunday's concert at the Knickerbocker Music Center in Westerly, RI. If you're not particularly familiar, get to the show. Over the course of two dazzling hours, you'll become a fan for life.
