The Words and Music of Steve Earle
A folk artist for contemporary America, Steve Earle's writing and music has captured the spirit - and the struggle - of this great land of contradiction. Singers Andy Maize (of Skydiggers), Susie Ungerlieder (of Oh Susanna), Tom Wilson (Junkhouse, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings), and Gregory Hoskins performed Earle's music, and Michael Ondaatje & Rick Roberts read his words. This concert highlighted Earle's brilliant storytelling and presented his songs in new arrangements that honoured and celebrated his music.
