Americana folkster Justin Townes Earle, son of Steve Earle, spent a couple formative years in Portland before tragically passing from an overdose. Writing some of his last, and best work in our own Laurelhurst neighbourhood, Justin is deeply woven into the musical fabric of the Rose City. ⁠ ⁠ Rolling Stone senior research editor Jonathan Bernstein just published his new book, What Do You Do When You’re Lonesome: The Authorized Biography of Justin Townes Earle, and locked in with the Mercury for this beautiful standalone piece on Justin’s Portland years. ⁠ ⁠ Full story at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ #portland #justintownesearle #music #pdx
