Singer, songwriter, actor, and activist Steve Earle returns to City Winery for his annual winter residency in January, teaming up with specially selected guests for one-of-a-kind experiences. He’ll be shuttling back and forth between the City Winery locations in Chicago, Nashville, and here in New York, where he will be performing January 2, 11, 19, and 27. On January 2, he’ll be joined by Aoife O’Donovan, the Massachusetts native whose second album, In the Magic Hour, is due January 22. On January 11, Earle will hang out with Nashville’s Nikki Lane, the self-described First Lady of Outlaw Country, whose sophomore record, All or Nothin’, came out in May 2014 and was produced by the Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach. Earle was once considered the future of outlaw country himself, so they should make a good duo. On January 19, Earle will take the stage with the one and only John Doe of X and the Knitters for some high-falutin’ punkabilly fun. Earle’s residency concludes January 27 with Kevn Kinney from Atlanta’s Drivin’ n’ Cryin’, whose most recent album is 2012’s A Good Country Mile with the Golden Palominos. Earle fans might also want to check out Steve’s son, Justin Townes Earle, who will be playing City Winery on January 6 & 7, with Frankie Lee opening.
