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 ("The Road Goes on Forever"). 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. In 1984, RK made a splash in Central Texas with his debut album, No Kinda Dancer, just as he had begun working his way up at Gruene Hall. Starting off in the front room, rotating Sunday afternoon with folks like Lyle Lovett and Nanci Griffith, he did so well that he landed a weekly gig, playing every Wednesday night for awhile. Robert built his crowd with hard work, good songs, great stories and an excellent stage presence. When things started going well with his first release, Robert made the almost mandatory "let's find out what it's all about" move to Nashville, but soon returned back home to the hill country, finally landing in Bandera, Tx. By the time he got back, his regional popularity had soared, and he moved to our middle stage, and then to the main stage in a couple of very quick hops. And that's where he'll stay.
