Then And Now

0 upcoming performances in New York

At Irving Plaza, Robert Earl Keen brings “Then And Now” to New York City, building a set that moves between early songs and later work, rooted in Texas country, red dirt, and Americana storytelling. The through line is narrative craft: characters, scenes, and plain speech arranged like short fiction set to rhythm. He’s joined by Coleman Jennings, whose understated delivery and porch-song directness keep the evening grounded. In a city where country often arrives as a touring import, the show reads as a document of how a songwriter’s voice holds up over time.
