Steve Earle

Steve Earle first won an audience as a country artist, though it didn't take long for him to demonstrate that designation was too narrow for him. His populist lyrical stance, literate yet down to earth, finds room for the personal and the political, writing about the stuff of everyday lives as well as the forces that shape and define their existence. Zandi Holup will open.

8 p.m. Lexington Opera House, 401 W. Short St.
