The Stranger

The venerable Robert Earl Keen headlines this installment of the zoo's family-friendly, kid-packed, surreptitiously wine-soaked summer concerts, but "special guest" Todd Snider is why I'm excited about it. With his rich, lithe, deeply witty tales of day laborers, call girls, and dry-drunk presidents, Snider is as good a songwriter as anyone alive; in concert, he's like the child Steve Earle and Bill Hicks would've produced, if either had a uterus.
