This is Robert Earl Keen final year of touring. He went to school here. He is playing in Waco but not in BCS. Why didn't the series bring REK in?
Makes absolutely no sense he's not doing a show in CS on the "retirement tour"!!
Sure it does. There's zero local organization around bringing real acts to CS. If I had time and F You money I would start a production company and begin working with local venues all over the area to bring in actual entertainment. This area, especially during the school year with students in town, is ripe for such a variety of musical talent but it's not going to happen unless there's a full group of people committed to it.
100% agree with your take on the local entertainment scene. For a market our size and the student population, it's pretty pathetic!!
My take on REK is that I had hoped his Aggie roots would have brought him back to where it all started, for his "retirement tour". Hell, even make it your last show to keep it "full circle". Anyone in town who could put this together would sell it out in about 10min because of the "nostalgia factor"!
