40 Years of Steve Earle’s Guitar Town

Outlaw Entertainment presents 40 Years of Guitar Town.
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, Sam Troy, Wayne Kellett and Gareth Richards, 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, 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 Marrickville Bowlo on Friday 9th of October!
