After many years of numerous awards, extensive solo/acoustic tours, successful acting roles on HBO’s The Wire, and Treme; Steve Earle, the rabble rousing godfather of the alternative country scene is back to tour around Europe in 2014, including an exclusive performance at the Liverpool Auditorium (Echo Arena) on August 20th 2014.
With his most recent release in 2013 The Low Highway, the 2011 U.K. chart topper I’ll Never Get Out Of This World Alive, Grammy Award winning 2009 release of his tribute album Townes, and going back even further to his Number One debut album Guitar Town, Earle has an extensive back catalogue which ranges to just under 30 years ago.
This rare full-band performance is a must-see for any Steve Earle fan, country enthusiast, or in fact anyone else who wants a first-hand look at a high-end artist within the realms of country music.
Support slot will come from the rapidly rising trio Red Sky July, ahead of their new album release Shadowbirds out in September 2014. Gorgeous harmonies, beautiful melodies, top-drawer songwriting, and an alt-country twang are the name of the game!
‘Earle is back to relying on his own pen in one of his strongest collections of songs, full of sharply etched observations on mortality, faith, the dirty side of politics, lust and murder, superstition and hard-won love’. L.A Times
‘His creative fires are burning steady, still, and if you care for him you’ll want a seat at the hearth’ – B.B.C.
