Steve Earle is one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of his generation. A protege of legendary songwriters Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, he quickly became a master storyteller in his own right, with songs recorded by Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, The Pretenders, and countless others.
1986 saw the release of his debut record, Guitar Town, which shot to No. 1 on the Country Charts and is now regarded as a classic of the Americana genre, with subsequent releases receiving consecutive Grammy Awards. Restlessly creative across artistic disciplines, Earle has published both a novel and a collection of short stories; produced albums for other artists such as Joan Baez and Lucinda Williams, hosted a radio show for Sirius XM, and acted in films, television (including David Simon’s acclaimed The Wire), and on the stage.

Support from
Roseanne Reid
Born in Leith and raised in Edinburgh, as the eldest daughter of the Proclaimers’ Craig Reid, Roseanne was taking her first artistic steps at the age of 12, with early performances at local folk clubs and open mic nights. Now established as one of the most sensitive and original young artists in the roots scene, Roseanne’s music often conveys a hyper-focus on the ever unpredictable nature of life itself…
Last summer, Roseanne and her wife became proud parents of a baby boy. Though most of it was written before he came along, the maturity and confidence in her song craft and delivery is there for all to hear on her latest album, Lawside.
