Steve Earle announces Irish date

Steve Earle launches into 2008 with a January 22 show in Vicar St, Dublin.
The 52-year-old is currently getting rave reviews for Washington Square Serenade, his latest New York-inspired album, which includes a few hip-hop embellishments courtesy of Beastie Boys producer John King.
Expect Willie Nelson to go grindcore metal any day now.
Tickets for Earle's the Vicar Steet gig are €39.50.
