Justin Townes Earle arrested after dispute with club
Earle, who just released "Harlem River Blues," was charged with battery, public intoxication and resisting law enforcement.
The savingcountrymusic.com web site said, "someone yells out how sexy Josh (Hedley - the violin player) is. JTE and Brynn just laugh and JTE says, "I love it!" At one point another fan yells out "Freebird" and JTE, (humorously) says "Fuck Freebird, I fuckin hate Lynard Skynyrd!" Then someone yells "Take off your shirt" his response was "you fuckin take off your shirt!" He starts singing Can't Hardly Wait and all of a sudden some dude throws his shirt on stage and It lands on JTE's guitar. JTE throws it down, looks at the dude very irritated and pissed off and says "FUCK YOU!"
He very angrily finished the song......trying to keep his composure and dropping his capo between songs, they finish with (the song)Walk Out. They then "walk out" with no encore..."
Earle allegedly trashed the dressing room, and the owner was going to dock Earle $200 for having done so. That's when a fight apparently broke out. Police were called, and Earle allegedly resisted arrest.

Around 2007, he started releasing albums regularly - "Saint of Lost Causes" is his eighth release and the first since 2017's critically well-received "Kids In the Street. ...
With "Kids In The Street," Justin Townes Earle moves comfortably between country, blues, folk and rock. The strongest country tunes are the traditional sounding weeper "What's She Crying For," featuring slick pedal steel guitar work from Paul Niehaus, and the catchy ballad "Faded Valentine," a sweetly melancholic tale of lost love that highlights producer Mike Mogis on mandolin.
The nostalgic title track finds Earle reminiscing about his unspectacular childhood ...
Fans of the early Justin Townes Earle might be disappointed in the work that fills "Absent Fathers," his 2015 album that shows the once reckless outlaw-wannabe has grown up past the anger and found a home in therapeutic songwriting.
