Steve Earle, the legendary American singer-songwriter whose work reflects a wide range of styles, including roots rock, bluegrass, folk and country, will perform a special solo-acoustic show at the Strand! A protégé of legendary songwriters Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, Earle quickly became a master storyteller in his own right, with his songs being recorded by Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings, Travis Tritt, The Pretenders, Joan Baez and countless others.
