Steve Earle

Artist’s Website

“There is a great tradition of troubadours in the United States. There was Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and now Steve Earle.” -Ted Koppel

“Only Neil Young has given us as many superior works so steadily over the last decade.” Los Angeles Times

Steve Earle is a prolific, populist singer/songwriter who has successfully blurred the lines between country, roots rock and even bluegrass. His latest release ‘Townes’ was honored with a Grammy Award in the Best Contemporary Folk category. This honor marks Earle’s third consecutive Grammy win (‘The Revolution Starts Now’ and ‘Washington Square Serenade’ were both awarded the Grammy in the same category). About ‘Townes’ Earle says, “This may be one of the best records I’ve made. That hurts a singer-songwriter’s feelings. Then again, it’s some consolation that I cherry picked through the career of one of the best songwriters that ever lived.”
