Lone Star State luminary Robert Earl Keen will once again hit the road this holiday season for his annual Christmas tour.

This year’s holiday extravaganza is dubbed REK’s Fam-O-Lee: Back to the Country Jamboree Tour and will feature REK’s band members dressed as Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Dwight Yoakam.

[Editor’s Note: I attended REK’s holiday tour last year at the Ryman Auditorium and it was my favorite show of the year.]
