    Steve Earle and his wife, singer-songwriter Allison Moorer, play City Hall on his Washington Square Serenade tour. Earle's gripping new album combines songs of love and protest, a stirring chronicle of both the connections between people that make life worth living and the things that must be changed in order to make such connections more possible for everyone. Washington Square Serenade opens with "Tennessee Blues," which updates the title track of Earle's 1986 debut album, Guitar Town. The new version is acoustic, more introspective and more rhythmically charged – all traits highly appropriate for the tale of an artist "bound for New York City" and leaving Tennessee behind. "It's continuing a narrative – the state of me," Earle explains.

    Allison Moorer's latest release Mockingbird, produced by Nashville's Buddy Miller, follows 2006’s Getting Somewhere.  On the new album Moorer wrote the title track but gives her take on classics from June Carter Cash, Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, Ma Rainey, Patti Smith and more.
