Artist Information
Steve Earle is one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of his
generation. A protege 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.
Subsequent releases like The Revolution Starts...Now (2004),
Washington Square Serenade (2007), and TOWNES (2009) received
consecutive GRAMMY® Awards. His most recent album, Jerry Jef
(2022) consisted of Earle's versions of songs written by Jerry Jeff
Walker, one of his mentors.
Earle has published both a novel I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive
(Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 2011) and Dog House Roses, a collection of
short stories (Houghton Mifflin 2003).
Earle produced albums for other artists such as Joan Baez (Day After
Tomorrow)and Lucinda Williams (Car Wheels On A Gravel Road)
As an actor, Earle has appeared in several films and had recurring roles
in the HBO series The Wire and Tremé. In 2009, Earle appeared in the
off-Broadway play Samara, for which he also wrote a score that The
New York Times described as "exquisitely subliminal." Earle wrote music
for and appeared in Coal Country, for which he was nominated for a
Drama Desk Award. Earle is the host of the weekly show Hard Core
Troubadour on Sirius Radio's Outlaw Country channel.
In 2020, Earle was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of
Fame. And in 2023, Steve was honored by the Bruce Springsteen
Archives & Center for American Music.
