With music ranging from blues to hard country to 60's influenced rock & roll, Robert Earl Keen is a powerful artist and engaging live performer. Keen, like Willie Nelson, is an inveterate "road dog", doing over 130 live dates a year from sold out shows at Irving Plaza in New York to appearing in front of 25,000 die-hard fans at his Texas Uprisings. Keen is a sharp observer of society. His wit, wisdom and honesty in his songwriting make him at home in literary circles as well as rowdy bar rooms. Rolling Stone calls him "an insightful poet and redneck shit-kicker whose comic party tunes have made him a sort of Grateful Dead for frat boys." Keen's new studio album, What I Really Mean, will be in stores May 10, 2005.
