Joe Ely

Show Description

With a career spanning 18 albums, thousands of live performances, and hundreds of thousands of miles on the road over four decades, Flatlander Joe Ely needs no introduction. Roll out the Lord of the Highway, King of the Honky-Tonk, torch-bearer of nitro-fueled, tornado-twisted West Texas rock and roll. Cite Lubbock and Austin for giving him a unique sense of place. Name drop Buddy Holly, the Clash, and Bruce Springsteen. Bemoan radio's inability to decide whether he's too country for rock, or too rock for country. Introduction or not, Ely is coming back to New York and fans of Ely's better believe their Texas troubadour has delivered up a big heaping serving of songs worth listening to, now more than ever, especially when the wind starts kicking up out of the west.
