Texas troubador Robert Earl Keen returned to the Mangy Moose Saloon in Teton Village tonight.
But unlike last year, when his energetic performance triggered a blizzard of fake snow inside the bar (as pictured above), this time Keen gave a mellow, fairly routine show, according to two fans who attended. Hat pulled down low over his eyes, Keen played for about 90 minutes and called it quits after a bizarre encore in which he and his bandmates traded instruments. Fans left scratching their heads.
Last year, Jackson musician and redneck comedian Kip Attaway joined Keen for a slurring singalong of “Merry Christmas from the Family.” And Attaway introduced Keen to talented guitarist Jalan Crossland, who splits his time between Jackson, Ten Sleep, Wyo., and the road. Keen invited Crossland to tour with him, and the two headed down south last spring.
