Forty Years of Guitar Town

Four decades after Steve Earle’s breakthrough album re-established Nashville as the epicenter of country music, we’re marking the anniversary with a tribute to the record that rewrote the rules. Guitar Town didn’t just climb to the top of the Billboard country chart, it earned Grammy nominations, won the Rolling Stone Critics Poll and announced a new voice with grit, purpose and determination.

Shane Nicholson and Duncan Phillips, backed by an all-star band featuring Brad Christmas, James Gilligan, Craig Kelly and Matt Gibson, will take the stage to recreate the album exactly as it first landed in 1986. From Guitar Town through to Down the Road, no shortcuts, no rearranging, just the album as Steve Earle intended the world to hear it.

After the full journey through Guitar Town, the band will re-take the stage with special guests Katie Brianna , Van Walker, Freya Josephine Hollick and Kim Volkman to play a collection of songs that have kept Steve Earle in constant rotation for forty years. Expect deep cuts, celebrated duets and some all-time favourites to bring the night to an unforgettable crescendo.

Pull out the boots and double-denim and meet us at The Brunswick Ballroom on Sunday 8th of November!
