Where my lawn ends His garden begins His name's Willie Nelson And he's my only friend We moved to the country to find quiet and peace We also found fear for my family But, one neighbor I know that I'll know til the end His names Willie Nelson and He's my only friend Our time here was over before it began But, me and Ol' Willie will always be friends Just one neighbor I know that I'll know til the end His name's Willie Nelson and he's my only friend

A week is so much longer when we're apart Together can't ever show our heart We got too much riding on this here to fall apart Together, can't dare show our heart I know we needed some time to see between us Took days, but I finally found my reason If I don't come around before it's over Hold me close a little longer If I don't come around before it's over Hold me close a little longer

The Keener Family Releases Second EP, “Hold Me Close,” Dec. 18, 2020 on new Chicago label Park Service Recording Co.

“Hold Me Close” is a three-song recording featuring most of the “Tender Beast” lineup: Christopher Keener on vocals, piano, mellotron and guitar; Robby Haynes (Record Low) on guitar and bass; Brien Seyle (Rats and People Motion Picture Orchestra) as the string section; and Aubrey Ann on vocals and organ. New to the mix are Chicago’s dreamboat Sam Wagster (Mute Duo) on pedal steel and Keener’s old buddy Alex DeGroot (Zola Jesus) on piano and synth.

We began recording these songs with the intention of making a full-length record. Then the pandemic happened, and with time, the songs decided to operate as singles and EPs. Look for more releases soon.

Seeing y'all.

Keener Family

“The Keener Family’s rich melodies float languorously atop warm guitars and strings heavy with reverb— When Christopher and Aubrey Ann sing together they sound like Bill Callahan and Emmy Lou Harris”
