Robert Earl Keen has turned his annual Fan Appreciation Day into a weekend celebration this year. Hosted and emceed by Storme Warren, Robert Earl Keen’s Annual Homecoming Weekend will take place Sept. 1–2 for the first time at Floore’s Country Store in Helotes, Texas.
The first day will feature a ticketed guitar pull starring Keen, Liz Rose, Chuck Cannon and a surprise guest. The second day will include Lloyd Maines’ All-Star Classic Country Karaoke with a house band comprised of Maines, David Grissom, Chris Gage, Glenn Fukunaga and Dave Sanger. More surprise guests are slated to stop by before the Robert Earl Keen Band closes out the celebration with their set.
Like Keen’s previous Fan Appreciation Day shows, the Labor Day (Sept. 2) event is free and lottery-based. Fans traveling from out of state who purchase tickets to the guitar pull will automatically receive access to the free show on Sept. 2. Additionally, every purchase of Keen’s Western Chill box set in July counts as an entry to win a signed Western Chill-themed guitar and two tickets. For more information, click here.
“Celebrating my fans is a cornerstone of my career,” says Keen. “For the past two years, we’ve hosted folks from across the country, the globe even, for a free show that has a singular goal: showering my fans in appreciation, and giving them back the love they’ve given me since the 1980s.”
