Steve Earle is hitting the road this summer for a massive solo acoustic tour celebrating 50 years of songwriting, storytelling, and raising hell. The “50: Fifty Years of Songs and Stories” tour kicks off May 25th in Decatur, AL and spans over 50 dates across the U.S. and Canada.

This run is set to be a chronological deep dive into Earle’s legendary discography, from his earliest tunes to more recent cuts — all performed solo and acoustic. Along the way, he’ll be sharing stories and personal moments from his career that helped shape the songs. If you’re a fan of raw, no-frills performances with heart, grit, and history, this one’s for you.

On top of the solo gigs, Earle will also be teaming up with Reckless Kelly for a few shows, co-headlining some dates with Taj Mahal, and opening for Parker McCollum in select cities.

Tickets are on sale now!

Steve Earle said of the tour:

“I live to follow creative rabbits down holes and I’m old enough, now, that the idea of legacy comes up now and then… I decided that a more or less chronological live songbook might make for an interesting evening of music.”
