Robert Earl Keen Returns to the Charleston Music Hall for “Countdown to Christmas”
The Charleston Music Hall will welcome Robert Earl Keen back for his “Countdown to Christmas” show on Tuesday, December 3rd at 8 pm. Public on-sale begins Friday, August 9th at 10 am.
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, Keen’s theme for this year’s tour is “Countdown to Christmas: Lunnar Tunes & Looney Times.” He and his band will pay homage to the space race and “will turn on the psychedelactic jukebox and light up the tree of tranquility” Keen said.
The Huffington Post describes the annual concert series as “part comedy/variety show (think The Carol Burnett Show of old) and part musical cornucopia that’s full of pleasant surprises. It’s akin to Christmas morning, but one where Keen and his merry band of musicians continue to unwrap gifts you didn’t even know you were hoping for until they share them on stage.”
Opening the tour is Austin-based, swamp-pop-soul supergroup Shinyribs. Click here for ticket information.
