Nashville, United States
Justin Townes Earle, born January 4, 1982 in Nashville, TN, is an American alt-country singer-songwriter who walks the line between old-time country and modern acoustic Indie music by breathing new life into early country, blues and gospel forms. His first release, Yuma, was a stark and beautiful set of songs written while Earle was fresh out of rehab and is now re-released by Bloodshot Records, who have a further three albums on their catalogue. The Good Life, Midnight At the Movies (Americana award nominee) and the latest Harlem River Blues show Earle’s characteristic charm, wit and rhythm to the forefront.
2009 saw him touring with Old Crow Medicine Show, The Felice Brothers and Gillian Welch/Dave Rawlings as a member of The Big Surprise tour and he has been touring solidly through 2010 making fans all along the way. In 2011, he received the Americana Music Award in the Song of the Year category for his “Harlem River Blues,” from the album of the same name.
Oh yes; his father is Steve Earle. And he’s named for songwriter Townes Van Zandt.

Saw him two shows in a row in Virginia last April. First show was in an old movie theatre and his bassist couldn't catch her plain and his fiddler play was "getting arrested" for some missed court house. The gig showed how amazing this guy is because it was just him with his guitar and he blew the roof off the place. The next show his bassist showed but the fiddler was still absent but it was once again amazing and quite intimate since it was in a small Richmond, VA bar. I tell you, he can play the hell out of a guitar but the girl who plays bass was equally badass, skilled, and beautiful (not that it should be a requirement for female musicians but an added bonus). See him live if you can because I have a feeling he's going to blow up, i.e. Grammy or Oscars performance (granted he does a movie song, a la Elliott Smith). Or he might, God forbid, overdose and another genius will be lost.

My introduction to Justin, was him playing guitar and singing, on the other side of a desk from me. I had no idea at the time who he was, but I knew I liked what I heard.

He is so amazing! Some of his musics remind me Johnny Cash. Any chance of him coming to Brazil? I don't think so ):
