‘Earle has moved between evocative portraits of place set in knotty emotional frames, prickly confessions of destructive patterns, and melancholic eloquence in the wake of short-lived love affairs.’ – NPR Music

‘There’s no one else now as brutally honest in their songwriting as Justin Townes Earle.’ – The Brag

‘Growing up has never sounded so alluring.’ – The Music

Alt-country heartthrob Justin Townes Earle returns to Australian shores to make his Melbourne Recital Centre debut this October with his band. Supported by Nashville mainstay Joshua Headley (who has played with Jack White, Dan Auerbach and Nikki Lane), Justin Townes Earle will spend an evening with Melbourne audiences in the intimate surrounds of Melbourne Recital Centre’s Elisabeth Murdoch Hall, playing songs from his new album, Kids In The Street and revisiting fan favourites.
Once compared to a man who wears many suits, in 35 short years Justin Townes Earle has experienced more than most. Having launched a career only a decade ago, his songwriting prowess has established him with a reputation as a singular leading light in the Americana music community. His ability to craft infectious melodies, brimming with fearless lyrical insights has already cemented his place as being a young veteran singer-songwriter armed with a rich body of work.
Son of country-rock iconoclast Steve Earle, Justin received his middle name in honour of the great Texan songwriter, Townes Van Zandt. His ability to walk the line between tradition and his own modernity is apparent in his knack for delivering emotional performances, laying bare his often harsh life experiences through song. His jangling guitar strung blues and folk-styled, country croon harks back to the innocence of Chuck Berry, and contemporaries Dave Rawlings and Gillian Welch.
Having first taken the hearts of Australian audiences during a tour in late 2008, Justin Townes Earle’s steady rise of regular Australian tours has seen him play some of our biggest festival stages including Byron Bay Bluesfest, Golden Plains and Port Fairy Folk Festival, and has already been announced to headline this year’s Out on the Weekend.
Settle in for a mesmerizing performance by one America’s greatest voices of melancholic eloquence in an evening with Justin Townes Earle at Melbourne Recital Centre.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
