Steve Earle: 51 Years of Songs & Stories
2026-06-21 19:00 - 20:30 | The Carolina Opry 8901 N Kings Hwy. Myrtle Beach, SC 29572, North Myrtle Beach
Steve Earle is a true American original—one of the most influential singer-songwriters of his generation and a defining voice in Americana music. A protégé of Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, Earle burst onto the scene with Guitar Town, the chart-topping 1986 album that launched a decades-long career built on fearless songwriting and unforgettable live performances. His songs have been recorded by legends including Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Emmylou Harris, and Joan Baez, and his iconic anthem “Copperhead Road” was named an official Tennessee state song in 2023.
A multiple GRAMMY® Award winner and electrifying live performer, Earle continues to command the stage with raw storytelling, grit, and heart. His most recent release, Alone Again (Live) (2024), captures the power of his performances, where no two nights are ever the same. With honors including induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Grand Ole Opry, a Steve Earle concert isn’t just a show—it’s a night with one of American music’s most enduring voices.
If you love powerful storytelling, roots-driven Americana, and songs that hit a little deeper, this is a concert you won’t want to miss.
Steve Earle – 51 Years of Songs & Stories will be live at The Carolina Opry Theater on Sunday, June 21, 2026 at 7:00pm. Tickets are on sale now. To buy tickets visit our website at https://thecarolinaopry.com/concerts, call 800-843-6779 or visit the box office.
