Daytrotter welcomed Justin Townes Earle to Rock Island last summer, with the great David Vandervelde (accompanied by the legendary Ritchie Fingers on bass) opening the night. It was hot that night and Townes Earle solidified his status as the most promising young bluegrass artist writing today. He returns to Rock Island April 18th, opening for Jason Isbell, formerly of the Drive-By Truckers, at the Rock Island Brewing Company. It's an all ages show. Buy your tickets now. It will be another unforgettable performance. And keep your eyes peeled for Townes Earle and Isbell sessions in the upcoming months.
