No stranger to the Southern Hemisphere, Nashville singer-songwriter Justin Townes Earle, on the back of his brilliant new album ‘The Saint of Lost Causes’, plays Brisbane Festival for the first time.

Since launching his recording career a decade ago, Justin has established a reputation as a leading musician in the Americana music scene. With fearless, personally-charged lyrical insight and infectious melodic craftsmanship, he is undoubtedly one of this generation’s greatest songwriters.

Between releasing four full-length-critically-acclaimed albums, constant touring, multiple stints in rehab, a new-found sobriety, being born Steve Earle’s son, amicable and not-so-amicable break-ups with record labels, and facing the trials and tribulations of everyday life, it’s safe to say JTE has quite the story to tell. His latest album serves as the perfect platform for such narrations.

Location: The Courier-Mail Spiegeltent, Cultural Forecourt, South Bank
