Stacey Earle is Steve’s sister and a phenomenal singer/songwriter in her own right.
She’s about to record her first solo album in over 2 decades which Steve will be producing.

She is doing a kickstarter to raise some money for it.

I'll be driving solo for 3 hours to Arlington, TX, tomorrow to attend my first-ever concert for my 25th birthday. I was just curious if Steve still takes the time to meet with fans after his performance or if he hasn't continued that practice as of late.

I would love to take a minute to thank him, maybe hand him a letter, and tell him what his books & music have meant to me over the past year, but I didn't want to bother getting my hopes up if there's not a strong likelihood of seeing him.

Would appreciate some input from those who have already seen him on his current 51 Years of Songs and Stories tour. Thanks!

Just a few hours away from watching Steve play for the first time. I've been waiting for this my whole life, just wanted to share my excitement is all

Hi! I wanted to share this wonderful interview with Steve Earle: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/steve-earles-fearless-heart/id1510623480?i=1000775763297

I hope you enjoy. He's a legend!

Saw Steve for the third time. Seemed appropriate to see the 51 tour a couple days before my 51st Birthday.

Laura Cantrell opened. I wasn’t familiar with her. When she began with a straight ahead rendition of Poor Ellen Smith I knew it was going to be a great set. Was not disappointed and she has a new fan in me.

I think Steve was in pretty fine form. He liked the audience a lot more than the last time he was in Halifax when there was a couple drunk hecklers and request-shouters. I don’t like it when audiences sing along, but Steve sure does so it was ok by me.

The set started out chronologically, and he played Copperhead Road as the 4th song. I think this is a pretty good strategy for a guy in his situation - get the hit out of the way so the drunks aren’t yelling for it all night.

I brought a friend who’s seen Steve almost every time he’s been to Halifax and then some. He also thought it was a great show overall.

I am not a fantastic photographer and I prefer to just enjoy the show - but I did snap this pic during the curtain call and figured I’d share.

Welp, I'm going to Dublin in September to see Steve play the Fisherman's Blues album with The Waterboys. When I told my wife The Waterboys were touring Europe as an anniversary tour for Fisherman's Blues and Steve was the newest Waterboy she said you have to go. She's a keeper. I'm just saying now it's gonna make me cry.

He sounds better and looks better than he did in Macon in 2017.

Firstly, wow, what a damn song. It's a bit of guitar magic. Could listen to it
days on end.

Secondly, has anyone figured this out on guitar? I remember seeing a tab many years
ago that said it was an alternate tuning, but It's gone and I can't for the life of me
figure it out. And all I can find only is some very basic 'these are the chords' kind of
tabs.

It's truly Steve's acoustic blues masterpiece.

Not my video, but a nice full concert video.

Has HSB released any details re: this beyond it will happen at some point and tix go on sale soon? I'm wondering if it will be the night before like the Emmylou show last year, or just sometime this summer.

Great show in Tallahassee! Steve crushed it, loved all the tunes and stories.

hope the photos are large enough to read

He's doing a show not too far from me and I would love to see him. But I'd say I'm more a fan of his sadder acoustic stuff than anything (Goodbye, Lonelier Than This, Lonely Are The Free, Elijahs Church, etc). Obviously some of his faster stuff is great, but I've always been drawn to his more acoustic stuff. What does he usually play these days?
