Steve Earle’s new album “Townes,” a collection of cover tunes written by Earle’s mentor Townes Van Zandt, is his highly anticipated follow up to the Grammy Award winning album “Washington Square Serenade.” The songs selected for “Townes” were the ones that meant the most to Earle and the ones he personally connected to. Some of the selections chosen were songs that Earle has played his entire career (“Pancho and Lefty,” “Lungs,” “White Freightliner Blues”). He learned the song “(Quicksilver Daydreams of) Maria” directly from Van Zandt. Earle taught himself “Marie” and “Rake” specifically for making this record. Earle recorded the New York sessions solo and then added the other instruments later on in order to preserve the spirit of Van Zandt’s original solo performances to the best of his recollection.

Opening the show will be Chicago-based singer-songwriter Joe Pug.
