Steve Earle to play in Eagle this summer

Submitted by Michael Deeds on Sun, 05/04/2008 - 2:17pm.

In a show that will excite the heck out of alt-country fans, singer, songwriter and political activist Steve Earle has been booked July 11 at the Winery at Eagle Knoll. Earle's wife, Allison Moorer, will open the concert. Ticket details haven't been worked out yet, but they'll go on sale later this month.

July 11 is the same evening as the Boston concert at the Idaho Center Amphitheater. Think there will be any fan crossover? (Um, no.)

To my knowledge, this is the first time Earle has gigged in the Boise area. (If he did, it had to be back in the '80s.) Here's a nice clip of Earle from 1991 where he provides some insight into his music, then plays "Copperhead Road."
