Singer-songwriter Steve Earle played to a packed house at Easy Street Records in the Alaska Junction on Monday night, sharing songs from his new album Guy, a tribute to the late folk-country icon Guy Clark.

Earle’s solo performance, rescheduled from March 7 because of a bad case of the flu, drew a big and appreciative crowd that sang along to songs like “L.A. Freeway” and “Desperados Waiting for a Train,” and listened intently as Earle told stories of his close relationship with Clark, who helped Earle get his start as a recording artist in Nashville in the mid-1970s.

After the show, Earle headed upstairs to sign albums and meet fans of all ages:

Here is a batch of video clips from the in-store performance:

For those who don’t know, SYML (Brian Fennell) is a local musician! He grew up and lives in the area. Saw him recently when he opened for Dean Lewis at The Crocodile. He couldn’t have been nicer! He took questions from the audience, said thank you. Met with as many fans as possible after the show! What a great guy! AND an amazing voice/songwriter to boot. He was a breath of fresh air and I was so proud that he represents the Seattle area to the world.
