Justin Townes Earle

With Justin Townes Earle’s pedigree come mixed blessings. As the son of legendary singer/songwriter Steve Earle, high expectations are the name of the game. A modern-day troubadour, Earle blends genres seamlessly, framing his songs in warm musical settings and creating tunes that could easily be mistaken for classics. With inspirations as diverse as Townes Van Zandt (he was named in honor of the elder Earle’s hero), Jimmy Reed, Kurt Cobain, The Replacements, Ray Charles and The Pogues, Justin forged his own brand of American roots music.

"Like the late Van Zandt, Earle uses a base of acoustic blues and prewar folk to build his own brand of American roots music."
-Nashville Scene

“Anyone expecting his father's rough-hewn country-rock may be surprised by Justin's adherence to traditional country sounds.”
-Pitchfork Media
