Look for Steve Earle & Allison Moorer on the subway tonight...
Steve Earle in Austin in July (more by Tim Griffin)
You might recognize roots singer Steve Earle from his turn on the Big Easy HBO series “Treme.” Or you might have seen him around town, walking or on the F train.
Born in Virginia, raised in Texas and settled in Nashville, Earle made New York City home a few years back. Reflecting on a pair of hometown shows — Town Hall on Tuesday and the Music Hall of Williamsburg on Wednesday — Earle says, “Your guest list ends up looking like the extras from ‘The Ten Commandments,’ there’s the usual stress of a hometown gig. But I love to play New York City, it’s home.” He adds, “You have to work a little bit harder. It’s like playing baseball in New York.”
Earle would like to take the subway to his gigs, but was still discussing it with his wife, singer Allison Moorer, who shares the bill with him and his band the Dukes (and Duchesses).
Don’t forget about The Wire!
Tickets are still on sale for both Town Hall and Music Hall of Williamsburg. All dates are listed HERE. Welcome home Steve & Allison (for a few days anyway).
