Biography

Nashville, United States (2007 – present)

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, in 2007 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.

His fourth release “Nothing’s Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now”, released in 2012 was met with critical acclaim, it was listed at #37 on Rolling Stone’s list of the top 50 albums of 2012, saying “The son of country-rock renegade Steve Earle has grown into a songwriter to rival his dad.”

He is the son of alt-country artist Steve Earle.

    Saw him last night in Bethlehem, had no idea what to expect (had never heard of him), instantly loved his music. Played acoustic all by himself, KILLER talent.

    Saw him in Annapolis, MD a few weeks ago. While the show was good, I'd only say 50% was amazing. That 50% was just Justin and his guitar. I saw him twice last year, once just him and the other with him and and his bassist (Bryn Davies - who is awesome slapping that upright) and I much prefer it that way. His current guitarist is playing electric and that along with the bass player and drummer really drowns out Justin's killer acoustic guitar playing. JTE is an amazing guitarist and that's what I want to hear, not the guy who looks like the Lindsey Buckingham parody on Saturday Night Live. Hopefully this lineup doesn't last long because I won't pay to see him again if I get half a show worth hearing.

    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".
