The Revolution Starts....Now!!



I have been waiting to see Steve Earle play a show in my area for a long time. Finally he came back. Steve used to play constantly in North Carolina and Texas. Those were his hot spots in the early days of touring. http://www.steveearle.com/

Steve is now living in New York City and tours from time to time. His show was awesome. He took the stage and had a different instrument in his hand almost every song. Most of the show was acoustic until his dj friend came out and played some backing drum tracks for several songs. That was a very interesting approach for a live performance but it worked very well.

Here is a link to a story in Acoustic Guitar magazine. I subscribe to this periodical and enjoy many of the stories they publish, especially the ones that focus on the artists and their "tools of the trade." http://www.acousticguitar.com/issues/ag78/CoverStory.shtml
