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.

    Finding it hard to pick a favourite, but that's because it's so consistent

    Wow, really good album. "Won't be the last time" is my favorite, for now.

    Yes, it's a strong album. Really digging the blues and jazz elements. I'm pretty sure he's touring with a band, at least his Copenhagen gig was titled "Justin Townes Earle w. band".
