Tiny Team , Connect Savannah and Quality Rock WRHQ-FM are extremely proud to present Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and Americana legend Steve Earle in his first-ever local appearance!

This very special solo acoustic show will feature Steve’s original material, plus songs from his soon-to-be-released album TOWNES, on which he pays tribute to his hero and mentor, the late, great Texas music icon Townes Van Zandt.
Here’s Steve’s take on Townes’ classic story song “Pancho & Lefty.”
Critics are already calling it one of the finest records of Steve’s career, and this hushed, stripped-down, listening room-style show by one of the greatest living songwriters of this generation should be one that roots-rock and country fans will be talking about for years to come!
Here’s a taste of what Steve can do with just guitar and vocals:
PLEASE NOTE: Due to circumstances beyond our control, opening act JOE PUG had to back out of tomorrow night’s STEVE EARLE concert in Savannah at the AASU Fine Arts Auditorium.
We’re awfully sorry about this, and are working at getting Joe back to town on his own sometime soon!
However, the good news is that we’ve been able to talk another legendary singer-songwriter to fill in for Joe.
LARRY-JON WILSON is a true icon of outlaw country who ran with TOWNES VAN ZANDT, BILLY JOE SHAVER, GUY CLARK, KRIS KRISTOFERSSON, DAVID ALLAN COE, JOHN PRINE and WAYLON JENNINGS back in the day.
He’s an old friend of Steve Earle’s, and an amazing guitarist with a low, deep voice and a poet’s lyrical sense.
It’s our distinct pleasure to add him to this show on Steve’s TOWNES VAN ZANDT TRIBUTE TOUR – especially given Larry-Jon’s close personal ties with Townes.
Check out this clip of Larry-Jon performing a couple years back:
There are PLENTY of CASH ONLY tickets available for this General Admission show, and we really need to pack the place in order to be able to continue bringing great artists like this to Savannah, so please buy one with cash at SILLY MAD CDs on the Southside (until 2 pm today – after that you’ll have to pick one up at the door).
Hope to see you there!
