JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE is an anomaly. He’s tall as the day is long, all angles and elbows and a hard stare, both welcoming
and deadly serious. He’s Nashville North, all set up in lower Manhattan now, just like his hero Woody Guthrie, with
twang & charm intact. His new record, his third, the outstanding Harlem River Blues, has been universally acclaimed, and in
March he is returning to New Zealand. The much tattooed wonder kid of Steve Earle, JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE, will reacquaint
with his many New Zealand friends he has established by his committed touring in his favourite destination outside his
old lady’s arms.
For those yet to experience JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE, get ready to see, hear, and feel the real deal. Channeling the Texas
Blues of Mance Lipscomb and Lightnin’ Hopkins, the folk and honesty of Woody Guthrie, through the honky-tonk of Buck
Owens, the cosmic country sounds of Gram Parsons mixed with Appalachian mountain music and finally the genius of his
namesake Townes Van Zandt, he is a bundle of Americana busting at his fine stylin’ seams.
“Earle sings like a honky-tonk hero and thinks like a 21st century man. He’s sharp and young, and has soul to burn – a
traditionalist that is not afraid to play ragtime and cover the Replacements punk anthem ‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ “ - Guitar Aficionado
