SUMMARY:[SOLD OUT] Michael Kiwanuka
DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston presents \nDoors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over. Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. \nSOLD OUT! \nRoyale is general admission standing room only. \n*** \n \n*** \nMichael Kiwanuka \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \n“This album is led by emotion. So making melodies that capture you was my priority. I was just asking one question\, does it move you?” \nSoulful and raw\, Londoner Michael Kiwanuka’s critically-acclaimed debut album ‘Home Again’ (April 2012) staked his claim on the list of great British singer-songwriters. As a body of work\, Home Again was a genre-defying nod to the heritage names of soul\, and reinforced the real strength of young British music talent. \nHaving taken a deep breath and relaxed into his musical approach\, Kiwanuka is back\, and has delivered his eagerly anticipated second album – and it packs a powerful punch. If his last album was about returning home again\, this is about leaving it behind and stepping out – and finding himself outside his comfort zone. Love & Hate is an outward-looking\, drenched with emotional density and rich\, soulful production at the helm. \nTwo years in the making\, the British Ugandan Londoner has worked with new talent and created a canvas which sees his vulnerability take centre stage. While previous comparisons have been made to the sensual jazzy folk-soul of Terry Callier or Otis Redding\, in reality\, this simmering\, blues-inflected pop-soul offering\, this masterpiece\, takes the foundation of those artists and ignites the genre with new energy and thrill. \nIt’s no surprise that Kiwanuka cites the elaborate\, expressive music of Marvin Gaye\, Isaac Hayes and John Lennon as influences\, and when he speaks of what he loves about his heroes\, (“The melancholy and the sheer honesty of Gaye. He doesn’t hide behind his lyrics”) he could so easily be describing himself. \nKiwanuka describes himself as being “obsessed” with the guitar growing up (and tells a great story about how seeing a documentary on Jimi Hendrix as a teen\, and realising he was black\, opened up something in him). Now\, after countless accolades following his debut and providing support Adele on her 2011 live tour\, he’s showing us exactly what he’s learned. \n“The confessional aspect is cathartic for me. You accept it\, once it’s done\, it’s out there. That’s the therapeutic nature of it. Now\, I’m living in a way where I’m not apologising. My first album I was just worried about everything.” \nMusically\, this uncompromising fluency of expression means he is as exciting as he’s ever sounded. That\, alongside a fresh ear for production\, thanks to two new producers\, elevated his sound from his debut offering. One of which was a young London-based producer called Inflo\, who he co-wrote the lead single\, ‘Black Man In A White World’ with\, and the other\, the mighty Brian Joseph Burton\, aka Danger Mouse who was intrigued by Michael’s previous work and asked to work with him. The American producer and songwriter who is best known for his work producing for Gnarls Barkley\, Gorillaz and the Black Keys\, was ultimately recruited for his aptitude for applying heritage music in a fresh way\, and was exactly was Kiwanuka was looking for. It was this new approach being directed by Danger Mouse that allowed Kiwanuka to really revisit himself again. \n“The first album was way more technical.” He says. “It was like\, ‘OK\, we need exactly the right drum sound and an old mic\, and the perfect guitar sound’. I love that stuff and I always will\, but Brian changed my perspective on it. I realised it the music wasn’t just about deconstructing the instruments\, it was to feel.” \nIt was this team and fresh outlook that re-ignited Kiwanuka’s creative energy after a period of self-doubt\, and much of the album was written across London\, and out of his comfort zone of LA. He says\, “I wanted to give up making music after my first album\, but this made me realise that I just needed a new approach to really reflect who I am now.” \nLove & Hate is a confident expression of Kiwanuka taking things at his own pace\, which at times\, brings you to a standstill. One such track is ‘Black Man in A White World’\, perhaps Kiwanuka’s most remarkable moment. Inspired by the old southern blues of American blues singer Son House\, he takes us with him as he discusses his worldview. The song deals with his issues of race\, diasporic identity and anxiety\, and is a captivating moment of sonic vulnerability and power. The clipped bass claps punctuate each word and as he sings\, “I’m a black man in a white world/I’m in love but I’m still sad/I found peace but I’m not glad” and with that\, we get a sense of his duality. \nTalking about it\, he explains\, “That song is about all the sadness and frustrations of childhood\, of being one of very few black kids in Muswell Hill\, and never feeling like fitting in. It’s about not feeling like I could be a rock star\, of always being categorised as jazz\, of attending the Royal Academy of Music and seeing no black people on the course\, and thinking just how much I was a black man in a white world. ” \nIt is the ability to allow his pain to rise to the surface where Kiwanuka really excels. On ‘Cold Little Heart’\, the slow build of tension as he asks the heart wrenching question\, “Did you ever want it?” takes us to his raw pain over gentle piano lines and soft hums\, as he reinforces that we are all vulnerable in love. It’s a theme he takes further on ‘Final Frame’ where he takes us to the point after committing to a relationship\, delving into what happens next. \nHe explores his spiritual relationship with God on ‘Father’s Child’ as he gently sings\, “I’ve been searching for miles and miles/Looking for someone to walk with me”. He likens the ad-libs to “speaking in tongues” and takes images from his childhood at church. “that song is about purpose really\, its about walking with someone. And those ad-libs feel like tongues\, lyrics that pour out from the heart before the brain has had time to process them.” \nOn where he finds himself now\, he says\, “A lot of this album was grappling with the insecurities that I’d learned. The first album was grappling with faith. Here\, I’m not so worried about that – I’ve accepted that it comes and goes\, and now\, I’m left with myself.” \nHonest\, unabashed\, and ambitious\, this is Kiwanuka emerging from the emotional cocoon of his first album\, and ready to secure his position as one of our most exciting homegrown talents. It’s a new world since his debut\, and it seems that it’s his for the taking. \n*** \nCloves \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nMelbourne\, Australia\nScandinavian Soothing Metal

SUMMARY:AIR
DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston presents \nDoors: 8:00 pm / Show: 9:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over. Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.\nTickets on sale Fri. 4/7 at 10AM! \nTickets available at AXS.COM\, or by phone at 855-482-2090. No service charge on tickets purchased in person at The Sinclair Box Office Wednesdays-Saturdays 12-7PM. Please note: box office is cash only. \n*** \n \n*** \nAIR \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nWho has never finished reading a book and instantly missed its familiar universe and characters who had just become friends? Who has never felt like re-reading it all over again and felt envious of the new readers who will discover it for the first time ? Air\, the French band who wrote such a music novel\, belongs to that category. The light but dense electro-acoustic pop of the band created in the mid-90’s influenced several generations and left its mark on the sound of its time. Along the way\, Air has produced cult albums (Moon Safari in 1998\, The Virgin Suicides in 2000)\, clever pop LPs (Talkie Walkie in 2004)\, rich experimentations (10 000 Hz Legend in 2001) and various collaborations (with Beck and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich\, Charlotte Gainsbourg on her 5:55 album\, Jarvis Cocker…). \nFor most of the listeners\, playing this best-of will be like reliving the magic of past travels. For others\, it will be a call to join the band and embark into a unique and epic music journey. There will be also new adventures for the most loyal fans : in addition to a first CD featuring 17 classic tracks\, two more CDs are full of rare and unreleased tracks and remixes for other artists and themselves. A reminder of the ever-surprising Air universe. \nSince they met in a Versailles high-school in the 1980’s before becoming Air in the mid-90’s\, Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel have never stopped claiming the volatile aspect of their music. Each project constitutes its own and unique planet. The retro-futuristic compositions of Moon Safari’s\, their first international success in 1998\, were the soundtrack of a whole generation of teenagers’s trips to heaven. On the opposite side\, The Virgin Suicides\, recorded for Sofia Coppola’s film in 2000\, was the Dark side of the Moon Safari with its gothic and dreamlike tracks conveying teenage trouble. Earthier and more experimental\, the very sophisticated 10 000 Hz Legend (2001) welcomes the band into adulthood before the accomplishment of Talkie Walkie (2004)\, a true pop masterpiece followed by Pocket Symphony in 2007 and Love 2 in 2009. Then\, the band flew once again to the Moon in 2012 for the masterful and dreamlike soundtrack of the restored version of Georges Méliès’s film « Le Voyage dans la Lune ». An eerie project featuring the track Moon Fever\, available in this best-of. This fructuous collaboration with every art form was renewed with Music For Museum\, recorded in 2014 for the Lille Palais des Beaux-Arts. Inspired by the museum collection\, Air wrote the nine tracks (including Land Me\, the last track of CD1) of a music ballet. A unique art and music experience. \nSoon after forming\, Air was labelled as a French Touch act because their early tracks featured in Premiers Symptômes (1997) shared some similarities with Daft Punk\, Phoenix or Etienne de Crécy who also became first famous in the UK. Yet\, this best-of proves that their singularity set them apart from this movement. Away from the world explosion of French electronica\, their compositions still sound fresh 10\, 15 or 20 years later. They are timeless\, which was the band’s first ambition : « to create classic standards ». \nBeyond the caricatural use of some effects (the vocoder and the Moog) or the simplistic « easy-listening » categorization\, this success is the actual result of the creative process. The power and timelessness of these tracks come from a prodigious music knowledge and a never-ending passion for instruments (from the Fender Rhodes electric piano to the Japanese koto) and gear. From classical music (Bach or Debussy) to soundtracks (Aaron Copland\, Nino Rota\, Ennio Morricone\, John Barry)\, sixties French pop (Michel Legrand\, Michel Polnareff\, Michel Berger\, Serge Gainsbourg\, Françoise Hardy…) to The Beatles\, Brian Eno\, David Bowie or Kraftwerk\, Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel sublimate all their personal influences to create a rich\, dense and deep atmosphere. Beyond time. Into Air. \nThibaut Wychowanok

SUMMARY:[SOLD OUT] Banks
DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston presents \nDoors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over. Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. \nTHIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT! \n*** \nBanks \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \n“Tell me what you want from me. I think you need a weaker girl\, kinda like the girl I used to be\,” sings Banks on “Weaker Girl\,” with a voice that is both reflective and self-assured. The song is from The Altar\, Banks’ new album due September 30th on Harvest Records\, and embodies a new kind of strength for the artist–not one that she didn’t have before\, but that she’s now embracing in full. \n“This is me looking in the mirror and being present in the moment\,” she says. “Not being scared of change\, and not being scared of my own strength and my own power.” \nWhen Banks broke out with 2014’s Goddess\, she became the world’s most blogged about artist\, with a voice compared to the likes of Fiona Apple\, Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill\, and a sound that took alt-pop and R&B to electrifying new places. With every song written and controlled creatively by Banks\, The Altar pushes those edges even further\, and pulls no punches. It’s an inspiring confrontation of complicated love\, pain\, and self-doubt. \n“I pushed myself. I pushed my boundaries. I found my own strengths while making this album\,” she says. “I found that when I needed a shoulder to lean on\, I could be that shoulder for myself.” \nThe album opens with Banks alone on piano\, her voice distant and reverberant. “And to think you would get me to the altar\,” she sings on “Gemini Feed.” “Like I’d follow you around like a dog that needs water. But admit it you just wanted me smaller\, if you woulda let me grow you coulda kept my love.” And then grow she does–the song swells with core-shaking beats\, and her stirring voice turns resolute: “Open up your eyes.” \nNowhere is Banks’ fearless self-confrontation more evident than in “Fuck With Myself\,” which Zane Lowe premiered in July as a Beats 1 “World Record.” “I fuck with myself more than anybody else\,” sings Banks\, cutting through propulsive beats and ominous grooves. In the powerful\, jarring video she dances and struggles with contortionists wearing her image. “In the video I’m looking in a mirror\, because it’s like looking at myself with open eyes. My hair is not in my face anymore. I feel less scared to be seen.” \nOn the haunting\, slow-burning “Mind Games\,” she challenges us to do just that: “Do I ever have to notice? I’ve been standing here and I don’t know why. Did you ever even see me try? Do you see me now? Do you see me now? Do you see me now?” \nOther songs on the album like “Mother Earth” are fearless in their vulnerability–led by strings and acoustic guitar\, Banks sings “Follow me to my bed\, cause every time you fall I’ll be holding your head up. And when will you get tired of feeling bad? And every time you fall\, follow me.” \n“I wrote that song when I was feeling sickened by this weight that society puts on women\,” she says. “It tries to make them want to be as small as possible and take up as little space as possible. Be as perfect and wrapped up in a bow as possible. My sister just gave birth to a baby girl and I just I felt really sad and scared for her because I didn’t want her to feel how I have felt.” \nThe album\, which features collaborations with producers and writers including Tim Anderson\, SOHN\, DJ Dahi\, and Jenna Andrews\, was driven by Banks’ deep\, insistent need for raw expression and solace. \n“Once I was ready to write again it really just poured out of me\,” she says. “It was just like my body needed it so bad. I think I was probably chomping at the bit to put everything that I had gone through on paper. I went through a depression while I was creating\, and it came out in my music in the best way–not in a sad way\, but all of this deep-seated stuff that was weighing on my mind.” \nAnd the album’s title\, The Altar\, honors the spiritual experience of that creation. \n“Sometimes it feels like the inspirations for my songs come from somewhere else\, where I’m not even thinking\, they just come out\,” says Banks. “My music and my songs\, they feel like my religion\, and the altar is the holiest place there is.” \n–Evie Nagy

SUMMARY:Jurassic 5
DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston presents \nDoors: 6:00 pm / Show: 6:30 pm \nThis event is 18 and over. Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Tickets on sale NOW! \nTickets available at AXS.COM\, or by phone at 855-482-2090. No service charge on tickets purchased in person at The Sinclair Box Office Wednesdays-Saturdays 12-7PM. \n*** \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nThe moment was ripe for renewal. In the center of the stage was a huge\, almost cartoonish turntable anchored by the Jurassic 5 logo in its center. Scratches are heard from DJ Nu-Mark and Cut Chemist\, the beat drops and Zaakir emerges\, mic in hand\, followed by Chali 2na’s distinct\, baritone cadence. Then Marc 7 and Akil join the onstage theatrics and for a moment it felt like 1997 all over again. Not bad for a group that called it quits in 2007. This was 2013 and like David Bowie once said: “It was alright…the band was back together.”\nJurassic 5 was in fact formed of six members; two DJs/Producers coupled with four distinct rappers who\, when performing sequences simultaneously\, was perfectly tempered\, making their early releases stand above the experimental rap that was burgeoning at the time. They weren’t throwback or old school\, but they embodied a nostalgic sound that was also at once fresh. Their first release\, The Jurassic 5 EP\, had songs like “Concrete Schoolyard” and “Jayou”\, quickly turned heads to their relaxed yet detailed sound. It also contained “Lesson 6: The Lecture”\, an instrumental opus that underscored the group’s deep production value. Fans worldwide became aware of J5’s dynamic stage show during this era.\nTheir next release\, a gold selling Quality Control\, was a more fully realized effort which was a charting album on the Billboard Charts\, peaking at #43 and largely introduced them to the masses worldwide. Tracks like “Quality Control”\, “Jurass Finish First” and “Swing Set” – became the group’s signature sound\, a development of intricate yet simple back-and-forth group dynamics accompanied by deep rooted production from Cut Chemist and DJ Nu-Mark. As momentum snowballed\, their next effort\, Power in Numbers produced “Day At The Races” featuring legendary Big Daddy Kane and a Hip Hop classic entitled “What’s Golden” which led the group to performances on national television including Conan Obrien and David Letterman.\nFeedback (released and distributed worldwide by Interscope) both reached #15 on the Billboard Charts in 2006\, would be their last official outing\, as Cut Chemist left to pursue solo works. They toured the globe\, made fans internationally while many rediscovered their back-catalogue. A year later\, the group parted ways. In the years in between\, their lore grew on soundtracks and in video games. Members’ solo efforts were well received. Given that everyone left amicably\, a reunion was always possible\, and yielded two huge European tours when it finally did. A performance at Japan’s Fuji Rock was particularly praised which led to more large-scale North American tour-stops. It had been sixteen years since their “playground tactics\, the rabbit in a hat trick” and not a beat had skipped.\nThe six-member tribe\, now of age and full of know-how\, are reaching a stage in their career where their full rise will be marked in an upcoming documentary feature currently in the works. This March J5 will tour Singapore\, Australia\, New Zealand and Hawaii. In June they are back in Europe for a 3 week run…Then in July and August\, their spectacular ‘Word Of Mouth’ Tour featuring Dilated Peoples\, & The World Famous Beat Junkies.\nAs DJ Nu-Mark aptly told the LA Times before their reunion at Coachella\, this right here is a “Rebirth”. \n*** \nShaheed and DJ Supreme \n \nFacebook \nCommunicating Vessels’ recording artists Shaheed and DJ Supreme are one of hip hops’ most consistent groups. Hailing from Birmingham\, AL Shaheed and DJ Supreme don’t fit the mold of most typical dirty south artists as they are practitioners of traditional boom-bap hip hop. They’ve already released two critcally acclaimed LPs (Health Wealth & Knowledge of Self and Scholar Warrior (The Remix Album) which showcases Shaheed’s sharp lyrical prowess and DJ Supreme’s soulful production. As a group\, Shaheed and DJ Supreme has shared stages with Raekwon\, DJ Shiftee\, The Bodega Brovas and Stalley\, as well as label mates The Green Seed. Their albums boast guest appearances from artists such as Akil the MC (of Jurassic 5)\, Amir Sulaiman\, and W. Ellington Felton. Their highly anticipated 3rd LP Knowledge Rhythm and Understanding will be released soon on Communicating Vessels.

SUMMARY:Tigers Jaw
DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston presents \nDoors: 6:00 pm / Show: 6:30 pm \nThis event is open to All Ages.\nTickets on sale Fri. 3/24 at noon! \nTickets available at AXS.COM\, or by phone at 888-929-7849. No service charge on tickets purchased in person at The Sinclair Box Office Wednesdays-Saturdays 12-7PM. Please note: box office is cash only. \n*** \n \n*** \nTigers Jaw \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nBetween the power pop melodies of early Saves the Day and the hard driving fold rhythms of Fleetwood Mac lies TIGERS JAW\, a band who’s raw immediacy is infectious and intoxicating. Shimmering organ textures\, chunky guitar chords\, and male/female vocal harmonies show the Scranton\, PA natives taking rural rock music from its legendary past to its vibrant future. Among the more innovative acts on Run For Cover Record’s star studded roster\, TIGERS JAW have a profound musical purity that is as equally stirring in a basement of 40 people as it is in a club of 1\,000. \n*** \nSaintseneca \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nAt the intriguing intersection of metaphysics and rock and roll\, you will find the new Saintseneca album Such Things. While the thematic concerns of the record address the very nature of human consciousness\, the decidedly hook-centric sound serves as a delightfully visceral counterpoint\, infusing the band’s unique melding of folk\, punk and epic rock with a very earthly sense of groove. At its core\, Such Things is entirely accessible and undeniably powerful\, unquestionably Saintseneca’s most cohesive\, catchy output\, and a work that cements the band’s singer songwriter Zac Little’s status as one of modern indie music’s most thoughtful and talented artists.\nBolstering the more streamlined “pop” compositions is a raucous and fuzzed out sonic palette that beautifully accentuates the record’s power of engagement.“When we were getting ready to record with Mike (Mogis of Bright Eyes)\, I told him I wanted the songs to be filtered through sixties psychedelic pop\,” Little explains. “Not like a throwback record\, because I didn’t write those type of songs. What we wanted were modern songs that sounded like a band had gone back in time to record them.”\nSince its origin in 2007 as an teenage bluegrass outfit in Appalachian Ohio\, then its growth to a large\, multi-instrumental live rock and folk collective whose onstage experiments would find their way to tape on 2011’s Last\, and then the more traditional approach of writing and recording in making Dark Arc\, Saintseneca has largely been Little’s machine. A meticulous\, tireless craftsman\, he began writing for Such Things by demoing songs composed of anywhere from two to one-hundred-and-fifty tracks\, which he then shared with his bandmates to serve as reference points for their own invented parts.\n“Even though it might seem like this singular vision\, at the core my creative strategy for the band is one that inherently involves other people. I think the best work I’ll make involves working that way. Ultimately\, by involving other people that are really talented and that I admire\, we’ll come up with something that will transcend what any individual would be capable of. To me that’s the ultimate creative goal; to have that element of spontaneity and the culmination of multiple minds.” \n*** \nSmidley \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [ \nNo One Likes You by Smidley

Photograph © 2016 Darren Carroll \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \n“The road goes on forever …” \nIt’s not always easy to sum up a career — let alone a life’s ambition — so succinctly\, but those five words from Robert Earl Keen’s calling-card anthem just about do it. You can complete the lyric with the next five words — the ones routinely shouted back at Keen by thousands of fans a night (“and the party never ends!”) — just to punctuate the point with a flourish\, but it’s the part about the journey that gets right to the heart of what makes Keen tick. Some people take up a life of playing music with the goal of someday reaching a destination of fame and fortune; but from the get-go\, Keen just wanted to write and sing his own songs\, and to keep writing and singing them for as long as possible.  \n“I always thought that I wanted to play music\, and I always knew that you had to get some recognition in order to continue to play music\,” Keen says. “But I never thought of it in terms of getting to be a big star. I thought of it in terms of having a really\, really good career and writing some good songs\, and getting onstage and having a really good time.” \nNow three-decades on from the release of his debut album — with well over a dozen other records to his name\, thousands of shows under his belt and still no end in sight to the road ahead — Keen remains as committed to and inspired by his muse as ever. And as for accruing recognition\, well\, he’s done alright on that front\, too; from his humble beginnings on the Texas folk scene\, he’s blazed a peer\, critic\, and fan-lauded trail that’s earned him living-legend (not to mention pioneer) status in the Americana music world. And though the Houston native has never worn his Texas heart on his sleeve\, he’s long been regarded as one of the Lone Star State’s finest (not to mention top-drawing) true singer-songwriters. He was still a relative unknown in 1989 when his second studio album\, West Textures\, was released — especially on the triple bill he shared at the time touring with legends Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark — but once fellow Texas icon Joe Ely recorded both “The Road Goes on Forever” and “Whenever Kindness Fails” on his 1993 album\, Love and Danger\, the secret was out on Keen’s credentials as a songwriter’s songwriter. By the end of the decade\, Keen was a veritable household name in Texas\, headlining a millennial New Year’s Eve celebration in Austin that drew an estimated 200\,000 people. A dozen years later\, he was inducted into the Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame along with the late\, great Van Zandt and his old college buddy\, Lyle Lovett. \nThe middle child of a geologist father and an attorney mother\, Keen was weaned on classic rock (in particular\, the psychedelic blues trio Cream) and his older brother’s Willie Nelson records — but it was his younger sister’s downtown Houston celebrity status as a “world-champion foosball player” that exposed him to the area’s acoustic folk scene. By the time he started working on his English degree at Texas A&M\, he was teaching himself guitar and setting his poetic musings to song. That in turn led to a college fling with a bluegrass ensemble (featuring his childhood friend Bryan Duckworth\, who would continue to play fiddle with Keen well into the ‘90s) and front-porch picking parties with fellow Aggie Lovett at Keen’s rental house — salad days captured in spirit on the Keen/Lovett co-write\, “The Front Porch Song\,” which both artists would eventually record on their respective debut albums. \nWhile Lovett’s self-titled debut was released on major-label Curb Records\, Keen took the road less travelled\, self-financing and producing 1984’s No Kinda Dancer and leasing it to the independent label Rounder Records\, which issued it on its Philo imprint. “It was difficult\, because I didn’t know what I was doing … I literally opened up the phonebook and looked for studios\,” Keen recalls. “I basically put it all together through brute force and ignorance\, but I was shocked with how well it worked out and very happy with it. We had a release party at Butch Hancock’s Dixie Bar and Bustop\, and Lyle and Nanci Griffith and a lot of those people who were a part of the Austin folkie scene came out.”  \nKeen himself had already started to make quite a name for himself on that scene\, thanks to four years of constant regional gigging and winning the Kerrville Folk Festival’s prestigious New Folk songwriting competition in 1983. After his debut’s release\, he began touring more and more outside of the state lines\, eventually moving to Nashville in 1986. Keen’s stint in Music City\, U.S.A.\, lasted just under two years\, but he returned to Texas armed with a publishing deal\, a new label (another indie\, Sugar Hill)\, and a national booking agent. He closed the decade with 1988’s The Live Album and the following year’s West Textures\, the album that marked the debut of “The Road Goes on Forever” and\, not inconsequently\, kicked his career into high gear.  \nWith hindsight\, Keen admits he no idea at the time of writing it that his song about a couple of ill-fated lovers running afoul of the law would have the legs it did\, but he readily points to the forward thinking of DJ Steve Coffman of San Antonio radio station KRIO for helping to start the fire. “He talked the station into doing sort of a free-form programing format\, basically anything he liked\, which turned out to be some Texas music along with a lot of cool sort of pop music\,” he says. “So all of a sudden\, I heard my song back-to-back with the Sheryl Crow song that was popular at the time\, and that was the first time that I really felt like I was a real part of the music business\, despite having been in it already for a pretty long time. And right after that\, I went to a show in San Antonio and there were 1\,500 people there — whereas up to that point I’d been playing to\, max\, maybe 150. That was the real ah-hah moment for me that really got me going and kept me going\, because before that I’d been doing this for eight or 10 years and had a lot of rejection but very little success.” \nAfter that\, though\, success came in spades. Although he continued to steer clear of the Garth Brooks-dominated waters of the country mainstream\, the perfect storm of Keen’s literate songcraft\, razor wit and killer band (more on that in a bit) stirred up a grassroots sensation in Texas not seen since the ’70s heyday of maverick “outlaw country” upstarts Willie\, Waylon\, and Jerry Jeff Walker. Armed with two more albums (1993’s A Bigger Piece of Sky and ’94’s Gringo Honeymoon) brimming with instant classics like “Corpus Christi Bay\,” “Whenever Kindness Fails\,” “Gringo Honeymoon\,” “Dreadful Selfish Crime” and “Merry Christmas From the Family\,” he began packing dancehalls\, roadhouses\, theaters\, and festival grounds with diverse crowds of rowdy college kids\, serious singer-songwriter fans and plenty of folks who\, like Keen himself\, had been around the Texas music scene long enough to remember Willie’s earliest 4th of July Picnics. And the phenomenon was not confined to the Texas state lines. Famed producer and pedal steel ace Lloyd Maines (Joe Ely\, Terry Allen) helped Keen and his band bottle lighting on 1996’s No. 2 Live Dinner\, a next-best-thing-to-being-there concert document that remains one of Keen’s best-selling albums\, and the burgeoning alt-country scene (bolstered by AAA radio stations across the country and magazines like No Depression) embraced Keen as one of its prime movers. In the wake of albums like 1997’s Picnic and ’98’s Walking Distance (both released on major-label Arista)\, one would have been hard-pressed to tell the difference between a rabid Robert Earl Keen crowd at Texas’ legendary Gruene Hall and those at New York City joints like Tramps and the Bowery Ballroom. Little wonder\, then\, that when the songwriter-revering “Americana” style was officially recognized by the industry 1998\, Keen was the genre’s first artist to be featured on the cover of the radio trade magazine Gavin. \nThe ‘90s may have been a boom period for Keen\, but his momentum hasn’t ebbed a bit since the turn of the century — nor has his pursuit of continued growth as a writer and artist. If anything\, his output from the last decade has been marked by some of the most adventurous music of his career. “Wild Wind\,” an unforgettable highlight from Gravitational Forces\, his Gurf Morlic-produced 2001 debut for the Nashville-based Americana label Lost Highway\, captured the character (and characters) of a small Texas town with a cinematic eye reminiscent of The Last Picture Show; but the album’s title track also found Keen wryly experimenting with spacey\, beatnik jazz. For the freewheelin’\, freak-flag-flying Farm Fresh Onions (2003\, Audium/Koch)\, Keen and producer Rich Brotherton (his longtime guitarist) took the band into the proverbial garage to knock out their most rocking set of songs to date — most notably the psychedelic rave-up of the title track. Brotherton also produced the more rootsy but equally playful What I Really Mean (2005\, E1 Music)\, but Lloyd Maines was back at the helm for 2009’s eclectic The Rose Hotel and 2011’s spirited Ready for Confetti (both released by Lost Highway). The later was especially well received by fans and critics alike\, with AllMusic’s Thom Jurek raving\, “Ready for Confetti is\, without question\, Keen’s most inspired and focused project in nearly 20 years.” \nBut the road goes on and on\, with no time for resting on laurels. Not that Keen’s complaining. “I had a relatively open schedule for 2013 back at the beginning of the year\, but it has just filled in like you wouldn’t believe\,” he marvels during a rare day off in Kerrville\, Texas (where he lives with his wife and two daughters). “I’ve broke my record this year — I’ve packed for five trips at one time\, because I wasn’t going to be starting any of them in the same place. It’s been crazy!”  \nEarlier this year\, Keen played a handful of sold-out theater dates with Lyle Lovett\, just two old friends swapping songs on acoustic guitars like they used to do on Keen’s front porch in College Station. But the lion’s share of his concert schedule still finds him playing full-tilt with his seasoned road and studio band: Brotherton on guitar\, Bill Whitbeck on bass\, Tom Van Schaik on drums\, and Marty Muse on steel guitar. “I’ve been with this band for 20 years now\,” Keen says proudly. “I used to think that was just sort of an interesting fact\, but now it’s almost a total anomaly — that just doesn’t happen much. I always felt like once you lock into the right bunch of people\, you try to do the best by them that you can. So we’ve been able to stay together a long time\, and I think one thing that makes it worthwhile for people to come see us as an act is the fact that it’s not like we’re trying to work it all out onstage — we’ve already worked everything out.” \nAs for what they’ll be working on next\, well\, Keen’s fans probably won’t have to wait very long. Despite the fact that 2014 will mark the 30th anniversary of his first album\, No Kinda Dancer\, Keen’s primary focus remains — as ever — more on the road still ahead than the road behind him.  \n“We take everything one year at a time\,” he says\, “but I am hell-bent and bound to make a record this year. I really don’t know what I have in mind as far as what it will be\, but what will happen is I will go off to my ‘Scriptorium’ for three or four days to write with no distractions\, and I’ll have a record by the time I’m finished. I’m locked into this idea\, and I know for a fact that I’m going to get a new record out … unless I get hit by a bus or get run over by my own bus!”
