Singer-songwriter-Socialist played a solo acoustic set for a sold-out crowd on Tuesday night. Fresh from his 2010 Grammy win for Best Contemporary Folk Artist, Earle chose Boulder as the final stop on his tour supporting “Townes,” his album of covers written by country-folk legend Townes Van Zandt — Earle’s mentor and hero, spent his life on the road, (and his summer’s riding his horse over the Colorado Rockies). And yet, Van Zandt never reached the kind of success that Earle has enjoyed. The songs in Earle’s two hour set were woven together by a series of stories about his friend, as well as a sampling of the kind of tall-tales that were Van Zandtap signature.
