What musician, album, or song best describes what working at Steampunk means to you?
Robert Earl Keen is a legend among Americana singer–songwriters. He made a run at Nashville but wouldn’t give in to the sea of sameness sound that Nashville was producing. He went back to Texas and continued to make music his way: writing his own songs in a way that was real and honest. His songs masterfully tell captivating stories that he has delivered over a 40-year career of doing live shows and making 20 albums. Just like Steampunk, he didn’t follow the crowd, has his own stories to tell, and thrives doing live shows for his audience.
