Outlaw Entertainment presents 40 Years of Guitar Town, featuring Shane Nicholson, Duncan Phillips, and very special guest singers, backed by an all-star band!
Four decades after STEVE EARLE’s debut shook up Nashville, we’re marking the anniversary with a full-throttle 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 run-through, the band will return to play a collection of songs that have kept Steve Earle in constant rotation for forty years. Expect deep cuts, long-time favourites, celebrated duets and a few surprise guests stepping in to bring the night to an unforgettable crescendo.
Pull out the boots and denim and meet us at MEMO Music Hall on Friday 06 March.
