About the Album

Every Thanksgiving, homes across America echo with a familiar refrain: "You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant (excepting Alice)." For many, playing Alice’s Restaurant Massacree by Arlo Guthrie is as much a part of the holiday as turkey and cranberry sauce. This 18-minute spoken-word folk anthem has transcended its era to become a quirky, heartfelt Thanksgiving tradition.

Lights, Camera, Christmas!: Not your usual holiday show with fake snow and false feel-goods. This year's theme takes its cue from classic films beloved by the Keen family: Pretty Woman, Pulp Fiction, The Big Lebowski, and more. REK and the band have worked up familiar songs from these films and sprinkled in a few of their favorite holiday tunes for good measure.

At this stage in his multifaceted career, funk keyboardist DeShawn “DVibes” Alexander abides by a few ground rules.

First, he’s all about albums, not advance singles. “I don’t want to show all the cards in my hand,” he says. “I want people to hear the whole thing.” Second, he insists on being in a band, not running a nebulous solo project: “As fun as a game of 21 is, it’s way more fun to play five-on-five. That way, you can pass the ball and build camaraderie.” Third, and perhaps most importantly, he wants to “hydrate your soul.”
