On June 11 at 8 pm, acclaimed Texas troubadour Robert Earl Keen will take the stage at Door Community Auditorium (DCA) in Fish Creek.
Robert Earl Keen, a Houston native, has never worn his Texas heart on his sleeve, but he’s long been regarded as one of the Lone Star State’s finest singer-songwriters. From his humble beginnings on the Texas folk scene to his college friendship with Lyle Lovett (the pair wrote songs together at Texas A&M), Keen has blazed a peer-, critic-, and fan-lauded trail that’s earned him pioneer and living-legend status in the Americana music world. And three decades after the release of his debut album—with eighteen other records to his name and thousands of shows under his belt—Keen remains as committed as ever to his songwriting craft.
In 2012, he was inducted into the Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame along with Townes Van Zandt and Keen’s longtime friend, Lyle Lovett. Keen’s renown now spreads well beyond Texas. Tickets for the Keen concert range from $28 to $65.
Memphis multi-instrumentalist Eric Lewis is arguably the most popular Tennessean on the Door County music scene, regularly packing houses on the peninsula (and across the country) with his red-hot guitar picking skills.
Lewis will be joined by some of his most talented colleagues from Memphis and Nashville. Special guests include Paul Taylor, Robby Turner (who’s played with Waylon Jennings and Chris Stapleton), Rory Hoffman (who’s played with Kathy Mattea and Kacey Musgraves), and Leroy and Charles Hodges (who have accompanied Al Green, Ann Peebles and Robert Cray).
Lewis’s concert begins at 8 pm. Tickets range from $20 to $32.
Advance reservations for both concerts are recommended and can be made at 920.868.2728, dcauditorium.org or through the DCA box office at 3926 Highway 42 in Fish Creek. The box office is open 12-5 pm, Monday through Friday.
