Robert Earl Keen Concert at the Levitt Pavillion Arlington

Baylor Orthopedic & Spine Hospital presents Robert Earl Keen Friday, June 23, at Levitt Pavilion Arlington for a paid-ticket concert. The evening begins at 7:30 p.m. with popular Texas artist, Cory Morrow. Robert Earl Keen's concert begins at 9 p.m. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Tuesday, March 21, through the Levitt’s website. Tickets are $65 for reserved VIP seating at the front of the lawn and $35 for general admission seating. All ticket sales are online.

Three decades after the release of his debut album, "No Kinda Dancer," with 18 recordings to his name and thousands of shows in his rear-view mirror, Keen has blazed a peer-, critic- and fan-lauded trail that’s earned him living legend status in Americana music and at home in Texas. It was 1989’s "West Textures" album, and the debut of “The Road Goes On Forever” in particular, that kicked Keen's career into high gear. His literate songwriting and razor wit created a grassroots following for instant classics like “Corpus Christi Bay,” “Whenever Kindness Fails,” “Gringo Honeymoon,” “Dreadful Selfish Crime” and “Merry Christmas From the Family.” Proceeds from the Robert Earl Keen concert help the Levitt provide more than 50 free concerts for everyone to enjoy.
