With Justin Townes Earle's pedigree come mixed blessings. As the son of legendary singer/songwriter Steve Earle, high expectations are the name of the game, and he's shown that he is up to the task on The Good Life! He crafts stark portraits and narrative tales with elements of Blues, Classic Country and Rock'N'Roll. A modern-day troubadour, Justin Townes Earle blends genres seamlessly, framing his songs in warm musical settings and creating tunes that could easily be mistaken for classics. Growing up in Nashville he spent his youth playing in Bluegrass/Ragtime combo The Swindlers and the louder, more rocking The Distributors. With inspirations as diverse as Townes Van Zandt, Jimmy Reed, Kurt Cobain, The Replacements, Ray Charles and The Pogues, Justin forged his own brand of American Roots music.
