Justin Townes Earle is following in the footsteps of his father, Steve “Copperhead Road” Earle, and carving out a career as an alt-country singer-songwriter. After receiving rave reviews and rapturous applause for his shows in December, he’s heading back Down Under for an extended visit.
Justin’s tour announcement comes on the back of the release of his sophomore effort, Midnight at the Movies. The album showcases Justin’s lyrical genius, musical sophistication, and organic approach to composition.
Justin will be ably supported by Melbourne’s Wagons for all shows, except for Fremantle and Adelaide where Henry Wagons will appear solo.
Tickets for all shows go on sale on July 14 from Love Police.
