LIVE MUSIC: Steve Earle: 50 Years of Songs & Stories With Special Guest: Anders Parker @ The Surf Ballroom

Steve Earle is one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of his generation. A protege of legendary writers Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, he quickly became a master storyteller in his own right, with his songs being recorded by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Joan Baez, Emmylou Harris, The Pretenders, and countless others. 1986 saw the release of his record, Guitar Town, which shot to number one on the country charts and is now regarded as a classic of the Americana genre. Most recently, Earle’s 1988 hit Copperhead Road was made an official state song of Tennessee in 2023. 

Subsequent releases like The Revolution Starts...Now (2004), Washington Square Serenade (2007), and TOWNES (2009) received consecutive GRAMMY® Awards. In 2020, Earle was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. And in 2023, Steve was honored by the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music. In April 2025 Earle was invited to become the newest member of the Grand Ol Opry.

Steve’s newest album, “Alone Again (Live)”, will be performed at the Surf Ballroom this summer. Get your tickets today!
