SUMMARY:Steve Earle: Fifty Years of Songs and Stories
DESCRIPTION:Steve Earle is one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of his generation. A protege of legendary songwriters Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark\, he quickly became a master storyteller in his own right\, with his songs being recorded by Johnny Cash\, Waylon Jennings\, Joan Baez\, Emmylou Harris\, The Pretenders\, and countless others. 1986 saw the release of his record\, Guitar Town\, which shot to number one on the country charts and is now regarded as a classic of the Americana genre. Most recently\, Earle’s 1988 hit Copperhead Road was made an official state song of Tennessee in 2023.  \n\n\n\nSubsequent releases like The Revolution Starts…Now (2004)\, Washington Square Serenade (2007)\, and TOWNES (2009) received consecutive GRAMMY® Awards. Jerry Jeff\, released in 2022\, consisted of Earle’s versions of songs written by Jerry Jeff Walker\, one of his mentors.  \n\n\n\nEarle has published both a novel I’ll Never Get Out ofThis World Alive (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 2011) and Dog House Roses\, a collection of short stories (Houghton Mifflin 2003).Earle produced albums for other artists such as Joan Baez (Day After Tomorrow) and Lucinda Williams (Car Wheels on A Gravel Road)  \n\n\n\nAs an actor\, Earle has appeared in several films and had recurringroles in the HBO series The Wire and Tremé. In 2009\, Earle appeared in the off-Broadway play Samara\, for which he also wrote a score that The New York Times described as “exquisitely subliminal.” Earle wrote music for and appeared in Coal Country\, for which he was nominated for a Drama Desk Award. Earle is the host of the weekly show Hard Core Troubadour on Sirius Radio’s Outlaw Country channel.  \n\n\n\nIn 2020\, Earle was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. And in 2023\, Steve was honored by the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music. Steve’s latest album\, “Alone Again (Live)”\, released on July 12th\, 2024. \n\n\n\nWITH SPECIAL GUEST MAX GOMEZ \n\n\n\nSinger/Songwriter Max Gomez grew up in Taos\, New Mexico\, where he fell under the influence of country blues early on and developed a songwriting style that was uniquely his. As a budding performer\, Max apprenticed in the rarefied musical micro-climate of Northern New Mexico\, where troubadours like Michael Martin Murphy and Ray Wylie Hubbard helped foster a Western folk sound both cosmic and country.  \n\n\n\nHe received critical acclaim upon the release of his debut album Rule The World (2013\, New West Records); and his subsequent EP\, Me and Joe (2017\, Brigadoon Records)\, contained a freshly minted classic\, “Make It Me.” \n\n\n\nHe has shared billing on hundreds of stages with stalwarts of the genre like James McMurty\, Buddy Miller\, John Hiatt\, Patty Griffin\, Tommy James & The Shondells\, Jeff Beck\, and Johnny Depp. Judging by the company he keeps\, Gomez is poised to emerge as a prominent voice of Americana’s next generation. The forth coming album\, Memory Mountain\, is set to be released August 2025.
