Concert Pick: Justin Townes Earle at Ardmore Music Hall

With each passing Justin Townes Earle album, it seems increasingly pointless to talk about the 32 year old Nashville songwriter in relation to his well respected father Steve. Sure, they've both got the songwriting gene, but Justin has a fully developed sophisticated folk-blues-country style of his own, and his new Single Mothers come across with his usual acute intelligence and unflinching honesty without ever settling for predictable confessionalism.

He plays the Ardmore Music Hall tonight, with American Aquarium opening.  Show details are here.

Here's what the Inquirer's Nick Cristiano wrote about Eearle in last Friday's Wkend section.  Single Mothers' "White Gardenias," Earle's thank you to Billie Holiday for teaching him how to sing, is below.
