JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE 2015
Americana troubadour Justin Townes Earle has had a very busy twelve months. He got married, he recorded two albums worth of material and released them within a few months of each other before hitting the road and touring through North America, Australia, United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands and Germany. In the process he has clocked up the miles, the outstanding album reviews for both 2014’s Single Mothers and the recently released Absent Fathers and fantastic live reviews
Justin was only here in Australia last October but with the raves reviews for his live show and a devoted and ever growing appreciative audience wanting more he will return for selected solo dates in April 2015 which will mark his eighth tour here in as many years. He loves Australia and it’s crystal clear that Australia loves him right back.
Earle will showcase his new album Absent Fathers, its companion piece, the 2014 release Single Mothers, and perform songs from his four previous, and critically acclaimed, albums – The Good Life, Midnight at the Movies, Harlem River Blues, and Nothing’s Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now.
Supporting JTE on this tour will be Sam Outlaw. A South Dakota native Sam Outlaw is a country singer living in Los Angeles. His self-released EP and live show drew attention which lead to appearances at 2014’s Americana Fest and his Nashville debut at the world-renowned live music showcase, Music City Roots.
His debut full length album Angeleno has been produced by roots music legend Ry Cooder with some of LA’s finest musicians hand-picked for the recording sessions including Bo Koster (My Morning Jacket), Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes), Gabe Witcher (Punch Brothers) and Danny Garcia (Reverend Baron).

“Earle delivered an enthralling evening of sensitive songs, full of vibrant wordplay that you suspect come from a dark place.” 4 Stars – The West Australian Oct
“Earle isn’t a folk singer, country singer, blues or soul singer; he is all of the above and one of those reliably great live performers with an impressive catalogue of songs to draw from.” – The Music
“That a man can hold centre stage for near to two hours is testament to the charisma and talent of
Justin Townes Earle.” – The Dwarf
