Paramount Outside The Box: Steve Earle and the Dukes

Multi-GRAMMY® Award-winner Steve Earle and The Dukes returns in support of his new record, Ghosts of West Virginia. Steve Earle is one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of his generation, a worthy heir to Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, his two supreme musical mentors. Over the course of twenty studio albums, Earle has distinguished himself as a master storyteller and his songs have been recorded by a vast array of artists, including Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Joan Baez, and more. His newest record, Ghosts of West Virginia centers on the Upper Big Branch coal mine explosion that killed twenty-nine men in that state in 2010, making it one of the worst mining disasters in American history.

Special Guests: The Mastersons:

The Mastersons are singer-songwriters/multi-instrumentalists Chris Masterson and Eleanor Whitmore. When they’re not touring the world as valued longtime members of Steve Earle’s band the Dukes, the musical and marital twosome make inspired albums of their own emotionally vivid, deeply humanistic songs. The duo’s fourth set of original compositions is the appropriately titled No Time for Love Songs.
