An Evening with Robert Earl Keen February 10, 2011

Among the large contingent of talented songwriters who emerged in Texas in the 1980s and 1990s, Robert Earl Keen struck an unusual balance between sensitive story-portraits ("Corpus Christi Bay") and raucous barroom fun ("That Buckin' Song"). These two song types in Keen's output were unified by a mordant sense of humor that strongly influenced the early practitioners of what would become known as alternative country music. Come see the man who started it all.

For $100 ticket holders, there will be pre-concert Meet & Greet Reception at the Cailloux Theater with Robert Earl Keen starting at 6:15 PM in the Cailloux Theater Lobby — there will be pictures with Robert Earl Keen, a live auction of a guitar signed by Robert Earl Keen and a silent auction, and refreshment.
