Steve Earle

What better time to welcome Steve Earle, the earthy country-bluegrass-Americana force who has never shied away from political songwriting. While having identified as a socialist in the past, he’s also expressed the importance of those on the left trying to understand the mindset of working class Trump voters. How his views have evolved on this issue as the stakes have grown ever higher may become part of the show — which, musically speaking, will focus on his new album Alone Again (Live) released in July, a live recording from Earle’s 2023 tour. With Florence Dore. Tickets at barrymorelive.com; $1 per ticket will be donated to The Progressive.

media release: Steve Earle has announced his forthcoming live album, Alone Again (Live), due for release on July 12, 2024, via Howe Sound Records/Missing Piece Records. To celebrate the exciting news, Earle has also unveiled the first track from the live collection, “I Ain’t Ever Satisfied,” out now. 

The 15-song record will feature live recordings from Earle’s recent 2023 tour, including his classic hits “Copperhead Road,” “The Galway Girl,” “Guitar Town,” and more.



Additionally, Earle is kicking off his extensive Alone Again: Solo & Acoustic 2024 Summer Tour May 31 in Philadelphia, Mississippi. The 4-month-long trek includes stops in Houston, Nashville, Toronto, Denver, and many more cities, before wrapping up on Sunday, September 8^th in Evanston, IL at Cahn Auditorium.

In regards to the upcoming tour Steve said ”So, October before last I woke up without a band. I had toured with one version of the "Dukes" or another since 1982, but the real continuous bloodline of the outfit died with my longtime bass player, Kelly Looney, in 2019. So, it seemed I'd come to a crossroads. Left? Right? I chose BACK. Back to performing solo like I did in coffeehouses when I first started.”

The Summer of Steve starts now!
