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.
