Helotes: Robert Earl Keen at Floore Country Store

Robert Earl Keen is coming home. On September 5, 2026, the Texas troubadour kicks off his Homecoming Weekend at Floore Country Store in Helotes with an outdoor show built around a genuine rarity: a front-to-back performance of his beloved 2004 live album, No. 2 Live Dinner, marking its 30th anniversary. Coleman Jennings and Gary P. Nunn open the night.

Few live records capture Texas music the way No. 2 Live Dinner does, and hearing Keen and his band play it start to finish, in the same kind of dance hall setting that inspired it, is the closest thing to a time machine Texas music fans will get this year. Keen has spent four decades writing the songs that soundtrack road trips, campfires, and Saturday nights across the state — “The Road Goes On Forever,” “Feelin’ Good Again,” “Gringo Honeymoon” — and this show is a rare chance to hear a full album’s worth of them in sequence.

Openers Coleman Jennings and Gary P. Nunn bring their own deep Texas songwriting pedigree to the outdoor stage before Keen and company take over. It’s the first night of a three-night Homecoming Weekend at the venue that helped launch Texas music’s modern era, and this opening night is built for the diehards who know every word of the original record.
