Texas native Robert Earl Keen is bringing his 2015 US tour to Druid City Music Hall where he will be performing his biggest hits and latest new music on October 9th.

Keen has become an icon to the Americana music scene. His witty lyrics and superb melodies catch the listener's attention and soon have them tapping their feet to the consistent beat of the upright bass and bass drum.

Keen has now recorded 19 full-length albums, including his latest Happy Prisoner: The Bluegrass Sessions. Each album includes different styles of country, rock, folk and bluegrass.

In 2012, Robert Earl Keen was inducted into the Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame and has written songs for music superstars including George Strait and Nanci Griffith. In 2015, he was the first recipient of BMI's official Troubadour Award, which honors songwriters who have written music full of passion and untamed creativity without thinking of ratings and topping charts.
