Only info is from his FB page.

This is a sad one. I had seen him at least 5 times, he was always excellent and a tremendous songrwriter. 

This year sucks

Hadn't heard anything by him until now. Feeling like I missed out.

Damn shame.

Well damn. 

Steve Earle's son?

In reply to secretariata (Forum Supporter) :

Yes. And middle name after Townes Van Zandt. Steve and Townes were good friends.

And, I hate to say it, both father and godfather set a prodigious example of substance abuse for the poor kid.

That pretty much covers all of country music.

Hank III is still here somehow.

It damn sure ain't just country music...

In reply to Gary :

Yeah, that's why I thought it might be. Knew Steve had named him after Townes, but couldn't remember if it was first or middle name.

In reply to Duke: I had heard he inherited two traits from his father.

Never heard his music. I guess I need to check it out. Like a lot of Steve's stuff.
