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. Subsequent releases like The Revolution Starts...Now (2004),

Washington Square Serenade (2007), and TOWNES (2009) received consecutive GRAMMY® Awards. Restlessly

creative across artistic disciplines, Earle has published both a novel and collection of short stories; produced albums

for other artists such as Joan Baez and Lucinda Williams, and acted in films, television (including David Simon’s

acclaimed The Wire), and on the stage. 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, a riveting Public Theater play that dives into the most-deadly mining disaster in U.S. history, for

which he was nominated for a Drama Desk Award. Mr. Earle was recently inducted into the Nashville Songwriters

Hall of Fame.
