Steve Earle & the Dukes/The Masterson

In 2015 at the first of two sold-out shows at the Music Box, singer-guitarist Steve Earle was in the midst of two-hour concert before a capacity crowd at Music Box Supper Club, he made a comment about getting kicked out of a blues band when he was 13. He said his 2015 album, Terraplane, a straight-up blues offering, was essentially a way of commemorating the dismissal. His revenge was our good fortune as Earle and his backing band, the Dukes, put on a stellar show. For tonight's gig, Earle will revisit his 1988 album Copperhead, a collection of hard rocking alt-country tunes that became his big breakthrough. (Niesel)
