Country music legend Robert Earl Keen is set to headline a Fourth of July celebration at the Starlight Ranch Event Center at 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 3.
More than decades on from the release of his debut album, 1984 s No Kinda Dancer, the Houston native now has 19 records to his name, thousands of shows under his belt and still no end in sight to the road ahead.
Keen s music spans folk, country, bluegrass and rock, but he is most commonly affiliated with the Americana genre.
He has toured extensively both in the U.S. and abroad throughout his career, and was inducted into the Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2012 along with Lyle Lovett and the late Townes Van Zandt, according to his website www.robertearlkeen.com.

AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - Concert venues such as Starlight Ranch are preparing for their busiest season yet, which is expected to be much better than last summer when only three concerts made it on stage before the venue shut down.
“Trying to do concerts during the COVID time was really hard, it just wasn’t the same,” said Bobby Lee, co-owner of Starlight Ranch and Big Texan Steak Ranch. “Unfortunately, we ran with three shows last summer and then just shut it down like were supposed to and waited until next year. Now, every weekend from now until the second weekend of October we’ve got major bands, tribute bands.”
