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.

SUMMARY:Indigo Girls: Look Long Tour
DESCRIPTION:Released in 1989\, Indigo Girls’ eponymous major label debut sold over two million copies under the power of singles “Closer to Fine” and “Kid Fears” and turned Indigo Girls into one of the most successful folk duos in history. Over a thirty-five-year career that began in clubs around their native Atlanta\, Georgia\, the multi-Grammy-winning duo of Emily Saliers and Amy Ray has recorded sixteen studio albums\, sold over 15 million records\, and built a dedicated\, enduring following across the globe. Rolling Stone describes them as the “ideal duet partners.” Committed and uncompromising activists\, they work on issues like immigration reform (El Refugio)\, LGBTQ advocacy\, education (Imagination Library)\, death penalty reform\, and Native American rights. They are co-founders of Honor the Earth\, a non-profit dedicated to the survival of sustainable Native communities\, Indigenous environmental justice\, and green energy solutions.  \n\n\n\nTheir latest record\, Look Long is a stirring and eclectic collection of songs that finds the duo of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers reunited in the studio with their strongest backing band to date. “We joke about being old\, but what is old when it comes to music? We’re still a bar band at heart\,” says Saliers. “While our lyrics and writing approach may change\, our passion for music feels the same as it did when we were 25-years-old.” “As time has gone on\, our audience has become more expansive and diverse\, giving me a sense of joy\,” she adds. To hear those collective voices raise into one\, singing along and overpowering the band itself\, one realizes the importance Indigo Girls’ music has in this moment. In our often-terrifying present\, we are all in search of a daily refuge\, a stolen hour or two\, to engage with something that brings us joy\, perspective\, or maybe just calm. As one bar band once put it\, “We go to the doctor\, we go to the mountains…we go to the Bible\, we go through the work out.” For millions\, they go to the Indigo Girls. On Look Long they’ll find a creative partnership certain of its bearings\, forging a way forward.

SUMMARY:George Thorogood and The Destroyers
DESCRIPTION:In a five-decade career fueled by 8\,000+ live shows\, more than 15 million albums sold\, and a global reputation as “the band that plays hot enough to melt the polar icecaps” (Rolling Stone) and “one of the 5 best acts left out of The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame” (WNBF Binghamton)\, where can “one of the most iconic bands in rock history” (Rapid City Journal) possibly go from here? \n\n\n\n“That’s all pretty good for the first 50 years\,” George Thorogood says with a laugh. “But we keep working harder\, digging deeper and playing stronger. Now it’s time to go back out there and do some serious rockin’.” For George Thorogood & The Destroyers\, serious rockin’ will always be what they do best. And for 2025\, The Baddest Show On Earth Tour will bring the guitar-slinging\, amp-blasting\, roof-shaking rock party like never before.  \n\n\n\nGeorge and longtime Destroyers Jeff Simon (drums)\, Bill Blough (bass)\, Jim Suhler (guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone) are now taking all the drum-bashing\, bass-pounding\, sax-wailing\, monster guitar energy of the past five decades and pouring it into The Baddest Show On Earth Tour\, with “the boogie-blues Sinatra” (Classic Rock History) as its relentless ringmaster. “If the circus makes everyone feel like a kid again\, this tour will make you feel like a teenager\,” George says with a grin. “I consider us to be a musical high-wire act that works without a net\, and we’ll be bringing all the danger\, thrills\, and fun that our audiences can handle. Because that’s what great rock & roll is all about.”
