    The most wonderful experience - cathartic, beautiful

    by kellysmack on 1/7/23Ryman Auditorium - Nashville

    This was an incredible celebration of a life taken too early. The vacuum left by his departure was temporarily filled with this celebration of life. The talent and raw emotion of the performers that hit the stage brought JTE's music back to life -- and perhaps even the man himself. I wish he could have been there to see the outpouring of love, respect and admiration. It's been a rough few years and this concert also provided a safe space to grieve many losses while also lifting our hearts with music.

    Truly a tribute to a man and his music

    by Mo on 1/7/23Ryman Auditorium - Nashville

    What a heartwarming and heartbreaking tribute to the life and music of Justin Townes Earl. Steve brought together amazing artists to share the wealth of their talents to honor his son. The experience was moving and memorable. The Ryman was the perfect venue and the lineup blended some of the best talent of both Steve and Justin's generations together. An experience I will treasure forever.

    Exceeded All Expectations

    by Amuzme on 1/7/23Ryman Auditorium - Nashville

    I wasn’t sure what to expect. After a year delay I thought perhaps the artists and sentiment may have moved on. I was wrong. Each and every performance on this bill I was heartfelt and dedicated to the memory of the fellow we lost too soon. Steve’s emceeing gave introduction to connections with Justin. Steve‘s last three songs at the end of the show nearly put me to tears.Thanks to all of the artist that performed on this unforgettable show.

    Moving Celebration of Life

    by Geoff on 1/7/23Ryman Auditorium - Nashville

    A once in a lifetime gathering of musicians, paying tribute to a lost, beloved friend, nephew, son. At moments celebratory and solemn, it was a note-perfect send off for a true talent who left us too soon. RIP Justin and much love to his family and friends.

    Another great show

    by R. on 10/5/19Birchmere - Alexandria

    Great show by JTE and a back up band. Opening act Jesse Malin was amazing- might be one of the best opening acts I’ve seen. Venue was perfect for this kind of music.

    Justin Townes Earle: MHoW 7 Aug 2015

    by RHGirl57 on 8/10/15Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn

    rtb and I had not been to the Music Hall of Williamsburg in a while and both of us had forgotten how small it is. It’s also the first place we saw Justin perform and fell in love with his version of Americana. Anthony D’Amato opened with Katy Pinke singing harmony. We’d seen him once before opening for Joe Pug at the Mercury Lounge. I enjoyed his set last time and enjoyed seeing him again. He was more engaged with the audience this time around and played some very rocking songs that showed off his guitar chops. Last time it was a very quiet set. When he first walked out he was wearing a Stetson that made him look Amish and then later he told a story about a vendor, seeing him in that hat, in Austin telling him to enjoy his Rumspringa. Since he lives in NYC (more specifically Brooklyn), I look forward to seeing him again. Justin Townes Earle is traveling with the same band that he recorded Single Mothers and Absent Fathers with: Paul Niehaus (electric guitar/pedal steel guitar), Mark Hedman (electric bass), and Matt Pence (drums). At his last gig I complained about the drums being too loud and I’ll say it again – the drums need to be lower in volume for the type of music that Justin plays. Justin, of course, was on acoustic guitar and just killing it, as always, with his way of playing that makes it sound as if two guitarists are playing. Niehaus plays a lovely pedal steel and Hedman is strong and steady. When it took some time for the band to come out I was worried about the reason why. Justin came out and announced that he may forget some of the lyrics because of all the marijuana he’s been smoking and my heart just broke. It was difficult for me to get into the set at first because I couldn’t stop thinking about his using again. He’s been sober for a while and I thought this time, with the new marriage, it might stick. Justin can be nasty when he’s not sober and before “Call Ya Momma” he said that he’s been told it’s a sexist song and he told the bitch to shut up. Not very nice. Luckily the rest of the evening did not get any worse and that’s as nasty as it got. Justin was drinking lots of water and when he put his guitar on the table at the end of the night (because he had kicked over the guitar stand) he spilled water and didn’t care if it got on his guitar. As for the music, it was excellent. He played a mix of his old songs and new ones from the last two albums. “White Gardenias” about Billie Holiday got a pointed introduction about artists who are junkies and people worrying more about their drug use than their art. “One More Night in Brooklyn” is about his time living in Crown Heights. “Midnight at the Movies” is about Gregory Corso. “Memphis in the Rain” is about driving from Nashville to Memphis to see punk rock bands when he was only thirteen and hanging out with a group of people not very good for him. “Christchurch Woman” is about Christchurch after the earthquake. For his solo set he played “They Killed John Henry” (for his grandfather), “Mama’s Eyes,” a Townes Van Zandt song, and a blistering version of “Automobile Blues” where he changed the melody. The band closed with The Replacements “Can’t Hardly Wait.” For an encore they did Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” and “Harlem River Blues.” Justin was on top of his game both with his playing and with his interaction with the audience. I just hope he starts taking care of himself again.

    A room full of die hards

    by Kemosavvy on 8/10/15Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn

    This is my 3rd JTE concert and without fail I find myself surrounded by folks that have traveled long distances to attend the concert and they own every album. JTE is the best kept secret in the singer-songwriter category, but when you get him you reeeeallly get him. Because of the low turnouts at shows, only about 50-60% room capacity at most shows, you can pick most any spot on the floor to watch the show. I prefer to stand as close to his hands as possible to get a breakdown of the unique strumming and picking style he has. After two years of practicing his technique I'm still a good ways off of having it laid down. He's a magician with that guitar of his. His voice is also a mystery to me, so plainspoken but which such a melody to it, it's undeniably attractive. Don't be fooled by the simplicity, it's incredibly difficile.

    Solid show

    by KGG15 on 8/10/15Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn

    Second time seeing JTE within the last year - this show was solid, he played for about an hour and a half so definitely got my money's worth. He and the band sounded great.
