Websites:
Date: November 3, 2009
Location: Murat Egyptian Room, Indianapolis, IN
Bringing their own brand of Alternative Country, Folk and sweet humorous slice of Americana to a bar stool near you, these three singer songwriters gave this fan and 1000 others an evening full of hits and oddities typically seen on the streets of Austin, Texas. Trading off, one after the other, with stories from the road or playing each others tunes, it was three down to earth guys with their six strings and a true treat.
Robert Earl Keen, the talented Texan Songwriter, opens the show with Feelin’ Good Again followed by a string of his classics taking his fans on a 20 year tour of his accomplishments telling his stories the way only he can. Bruce Robinson took the stage next bringing us some of his hit songs recorded over the last 10 years by the likes of Tim McGraw, the Dixie Chicks and George Strait as well as his own, What Would Willie Do? Closing out the first set, Todd Snider comes to the stage in his typical barefoot way, to a standing O from the local fans who mostly know him for his humor and appearances on the syndicated Bob & Tom Show. Fair weathered or not these people came to have fun and Todd’s own blend of hits after 15 years of acclaimed songwriting left no fan disappointed.
For the second set, our barstool trio, pictured above, took the stage together taking requests from the audience and continuing their legendary portraits in song with the classics The Road Goes On Forever, That Buckin’ Song, and Beer Run the fans sang along bringing the show to its close as it was supposed to be; An intimate, fun filled, raucous, hilarious hell of a good o boy stomp!
