If there’s one holiday tradition that can rival sweet potato casserole, it’s heading out to see Robert Earl Keen and his band throw one of the most hilariously chaotic Christmas shows in country music. For fifteen years, Keen has transformed venues across the Southeast and Texas into a traveling holiday circus and this year, the Greatest Christmas On Earth tour promises to be bigger, brighter, and more festive than ever.
From December 4th to 21st, families (grown kids included) can catch the Robert Earl Keen Band as they bring the whimsical energy of lions, tigers, tight ropes, and clowns to stages from Kerrville to Houston. And of course, no REK holiday show would be complete without the anthem of dysfunction, “Merry Christmas From The Family.” Think of it as a 90-minute escape from your own family drama— perfectly chaotic, joyously loud, and impossible not to sing along to.
