Robert Earl Keen is pleased to announce the return of his annual Homecoming Weekend, which includes Fan Appreciation Day at Floore’s Country Store in Helotes, Texas. Tie a bow on the summer and join Keen and friends for three nights of non-stop music over Labor Day Weekend, September 5-7.
This year’s lineup features, on Saturday, Sept. 5, a 30th anniversary full-band celebration set of Keen’s seminal recorded-at-Floore’s, #2 Live Dinner album. On Sunday, Sept. 6, Keen gathers some of his favorite songwriters for a “Songs & Stories” guitar pull indoors at Floore’s, featuring legendary singer-songwriter Ray Wylie Hubbard, the wild and wonderful Steve Poltz, country music royalty Suzy Bogguss, and Keen swapping songs and telling stories. And on Monday, Sept. 7, Labor Day proper, Fan Appreciation Day’s doors will open at 2 p.m., and music will go until the good folks at Floore’s kick everybody out after Keen and the band’s headline set.
As it has been for the past five years, the all-day Labor Day fiesta will be a free event, featuring yet-to-be-announced guests and a Robert Earl Keen Band performance for those lucky enough to win the ticket lottery. More on that below.
The Fan Appreciation Day ticket lottery for the Sept. 7 show is live now. Enter at this link. All other tickets, including the aforementioned VIP packages, are on sale now, and can be found right here for Saturday and here for Sunday. A note for fans wanting to travel in from out of state: The purchase of a 3-Day VIP or General Admission ticket guarantees access to Monday’s main event.
In addition to a full list of summer shows, Keen is linking up with Lost Highway Records for the 25th anniversary reissue of Gravitational Forces. Out on July 10, this new pressing will feature a special-edition forest green colored vinyl, along with new album notes courtesy of Keen’s daughter, Clara Rose. Pre-order Gravitational Forces today from Lost Highway Records at this link, and note that a limited number of signed vinyl will be available at the merch table and at robertearlkeen.com.
