This gig didn't wow me. However, JTE is great musician, if not a little awkward with the crowd. He'd be even better with is full band behind him. I thought the set lacked a bit of punch and as a whole the band seemed a little too laid-back, even lazy at times (maybe I'm just too much of a rock-pig?). There were sounds of some of the greats in his set, a little Van Morrison-ish, some Dwight Yolkham and yes, a lot of his father filtering through.
I don't rate the venue at all. I won't be inclined to see an international act at Bar bodega again. It was uncomfortably hot and dangerously over-filled. I, as many punters did, had the added pleasure of a huge pole blocking my view all night.
Perhaps the sound desk struggled a little on the night too? It's irritating when you can clearly hear a conversation going on next to you... ramp it up I say!

JTE is an young Americana master. If you're into edgy americana folk, you must see Justin. His guitar playing is excellent and at Dux Live he was with a second guitarist who played lead acoustic and mandolin, and a double bass player. Nice to see some good old rockabilly bass slapping on a few of the numbers too.

This was a brilliant performance. I thoroughly enjoyed the music right till the very end.
My only criticism was the venue. Dux Live was extremely hot and stuffy and lacked decent seating set up.

If I could go and see Justin Townes Earle play tonight again I would , a truly mesmerizing perfomance by a very complicated person. His lyrics are sometimes heartfelt other times light. The music swept me to another country and other enviroments. Loved being part of it!

Awesome performance, great banter. Would definitely see him again.
Only issue was with the rude crowd and low stage height at Bodega.

Justin townes Earle was fantastic, I really enjoyed his set and his interaction with the crowd. What I didn't like was the people who go to Bodega and treat the performer like a backing track to their conversation. In the really intimate, quiet moments in his songs, you could hear them all chatting away down the back. Same thing happened with Eilen Jewell. But would definitely see JTE again.

Wow, what an engaging young man playing awesome music. It would be difficult to understand how anyone would not thoroughly enjoy an evening out like this. A brilliant guitar picker with a great voice and a bunch of fantastic original songs, also delivered with charisma and exceptional style. The venue was great with friendly staff and patrons not too packed in. Would go again in an instant and recommend to all.

Since I discovered Justin I've been his hugest fan. Maybe even more talented than Steve. Waited a month for the concert of the century and.............. We're weary but ready to rock???? Yea right , yawn yawn. Wish I'd stayed home and played Midnight At The Movies and had a cuddle. It's ok to get mulleted but keep the people that pay the bills happy first.

While I was most impressed by Justin Townes Earle's endearing command of the stage, I was less than happy with the members of the audience who talked (and even shouted) through his entire set.. While the mezzanine area was officially closed, there were some disruptive souls who had gained access to it, and abused the privilege of being there. JTE remained the consummate professional and carried on singing up a storm, but I could see it was disruptive to his concentration. (If they preferred talking to their mates, there are plenty of pubs in the area they could have spent their evening! Those of us there for the music would have given our biggest cheer of the night for their removal). How about some concert etiquette!
That said, Justin Townes Earle was amazing; with a very minimal stage set (one table, 4 bottles of water and 2 towels!), he demanded attention, with his stage-shuffling and hammering guitar picking. The first time I saw JTE he performed solo, but his very talented fiddle player added extra interest to his already unique stage presence.
Apologies for the rudeness of the talkers, but the rest of us really enjoyed the show.

Justin Townes Earle is a fantastic singer songwriter - I remember watching his dad play at the Auckland Town Hall 20 years before and he did a song for his very young son 'Little Rockin Roller'. Great to see the the talent runs deep in this family.

Enjoyed the slightly wobbly, delicately poised, stretched, Justin. Love his songs anyway. His acoustic gat playing is truly unique.I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure it out! Josh's fiddle playing is just, well fucking great. We just cant seem to produce fiddle players in NZ of this sort of calibre. My only dissension was the crippling temperature standing in the capacity crowd waiting for the guys to start. Love to see his whole band next time cos there should be one.

Justin Townes Earle is a great singer accompanied by a great fiddle player but I wouldn't like to be his girlfriend!
Don't go to Earle and expect him to appear on time (most of his fans must know this as lots of people didn't turn up until Earle was at least 1/2 hour late). We will not be returning to Bodega for a concert - ( drink and snack A+). Concert patrons could stand in the front or sit at the back with bad acoutics and LOTS OF TALKING! What is with people who go to concerts only to talk at the top of their voices?
