Fans of rock 'n' roll, folk, country and Americana music have long been held in Todd Snider's sway. His last full length album, 2006's "The Devil You Know" landed him on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and Late Night With David Letterman, and it appeared on numerous year-end Top 10 lists including Spin, Blender and Rolling Stone. With the success of his heralded 2008 EP, "Peace Queer" and "Peace Queer: The Movie", Snider is now prepping for its follow up, "The Excitement Plan", which will be released in June. Joining this double bill will be Justin Townes Earle. Justin Townes Earle is an anomaly. He’s tall as the day is long, all angles and elbows and a hard stare, both welcoming and deadly serious. He’s Nashville North, all set up in lower Manhattan now, just like his hero Woody Guthrie, with twang and charm intact. That hard working earnestness has paid off, to say the least. Justin won the Best New and Emerging Artist at the 2009 Americana Music Awards. His record, Midnight at the Movies, was named one of the best records of last year by Amazon, received four stars in Rolling Stone and found a sweet spot in the blackened hearts of fans and critics alike.
