Steve Earle: 52 Years of Songs & Stories and Support

Steve Earle is one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of his generation.

A protégé 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.

Most recently, Earle's 1988 hit Copperhead Road was made an official state song of Tennessee in 2023.

In 2020, Earle was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

And in 2023, Steve was honoured by the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music.

Steve's latest album, Alone Again (Live), was released on July 12th, 2024.

Most recently, Steve was honoured with an invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry and was officially inducted on September 17, 2025“Awhile back I was interviewing John Hiatt on my radio show and we realized that we had known each other for fifty years.

I met John in 1975, my first full year in Nashville and it occurred to me that the oldest songs that I still play (there are 3) were written that year.

Now, I live to follow creative rabbits down holes and I’m old enough, now, that the idea of legacy comes up now and then, so, I decided that a more or less chronological live songbook might make for an interesting evening of music.” Steve Earle, 2025
