Justin Townes Earle & Joe Pug By Amanda on March 18, 2011 7:21 PM | Permalink | Comments (1)
No, not together - although lucky folk in Freo and Melbourne will get some joint shows next week. A week apart, at the Annandale and Notes Newtown for my fourth and second times respectively.
JTE continues to deliver each gig, this time he was accompanied by on fiddle by Josh Hedley; seems like JTE has a new sideman every tour here adding something different each time. Josh added sensitive harmonies and judging by these videos can put on a damn fine show, solo. Oh and they did a great "Racing in The Street." Somehow I was way right at the back on the Annandale which was a terrible place to be though. Someone smart enough to get up the front got this heartfelt "Christchurch Woman"
Joe Pug : much better turnout at Notes than his first visit here last November and I know of at least half a dozen people who've been converted to him during this tour. So, yay.
Here's "Nation of Heat" from that gig from Deadflower67 on Youtube:

Saw JTE last night at the Forum with Joe Pug supporting.
Great show, with Justin in fine form. He also did Racing In the Streets - fab version I agree.
It struck me that Justin had slowed down a lot of his songs. Unfortunately didn't get any photos of the show as cameras were not allowed and security persons were all over the place, however Joe Pug posed nicely for a photo later on. Seeing Joe tomorrow at the Toff.
