(IVPR) For fifteen years now, legendary Texas songwriter Robert Earl Keen has thrown his own kind of Christmas party, one that involves venues quite a bit larger than your usual great uncle's living room and a few thousand more guests.
At this point, the REK Christmas tour has become part of some families' traditions right alongside sweet potato casserole or leaving out treats for the reindeer. This year will be no different, with Keen and company announcing their 2025 holiday season tour: The Greatest Christmas On Earth.
From December 4th to the 21st, load up the kids-no matter if they're grown or not-and head to the travelling musical circus where the Robert Earl Keen Band plan on bringing themes like lions, tigers, tight ropes, and clowns into the fold among Keen's classic, singalong tunes to tour stops throughout the Southeast and Texas. Of course, each night wouldn't be complete without a performance of the most dysfunctional holiday anthem ever, "Merry Christmas From The Family." And that's exactly the spirit of a Robert Earl Keen Christmas show: check all of your family, work, or life baggage at the door and have a good time, even if, no...especially if, you're sitting next to your own argumentative kin. It's a perfect 90 minutes of not having to make small talk with Brother Ken, New Wife Kay, Fred and Rita, and Cousin David!
