Robert Earl Keen is a country and Americana singer-songwriter from Houston, Texas, who studied at Texas A&M University before moving to Austin in 1978 to play its clubs and listening rooms. Known for sharp, funny storytelling, he wrote "The Road Goes On Forever," the title song of his 1989 breakthrough album West Textures, and "Merry Christmas from the Family," a holiday favorite. His albums include No Kinda Dancer, A Bigger Piece of Sky, Gringo Honeymoon, Picnic, Walking Distance, Gravitational Forces, What I Really Mean, The Rose Hotel, Ready for Confetti, Happy Prisoner: The Bluegrass Sessions and Western Chill in 2023.
