Robert Earl Keen Counts Down to Christmas — Tree minus Two Weeks until Lift Off!
Singer, songwriter, and entertainer, Robert Earl Keen, is celebrating his 8th annual Christmas tour the only way he knows how, BIG. Following the success of his 2018 sold-out Christmas tour, Keen and his band are expanding to twenty cities in the month of December. Austin-based swamp-pop soul supergroup, Shinyribs, join the team to open up each night.
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, Keen’s theme for this year’s tour is COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS: Lunar Tunes & Looney Times. He and his band will pay homage to the space race and all things celestial in an out-of-this-world evening of family holiday fun.
“You know, my Christmas tour has always been more of a variety show with a killer band dressed up and going all out.” Keen adds, “Things you can expect are great music and a great time. Things you shouldn’t expect is one long Christmas carol and almost falling asleep during ‘Silent Night’. This is Christmas the way we know how to celebrate.”
Concertgoers will blast off with Keen’s classic “Merry Christmas from the Family,” fan favorites, and unearthly covers from his band members. Ground Control reminds fans to grab their tickets before this lunar expedition sells out.
Check out this video of Robert Earl Keen and his band performing “Merry Christmas From The Family.”
