Jambalaya events presents 'Heartworn Highways : Live' at RRR2020

Heartworn Highways: Live

Following their sell out show at London’s Wilton’s Music Hall. Jambalaya Events presents Heartworn Highways: Live at the Ramblin' Roots Revue.

Settle in for two fantastic sets of live music as our artists perform a mixture of original material and re-imaginations of songs by Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell and many others featured in James Szalapski’s docu-film Heartworn Highways.

THE FILM:

Heartworn Highways offers an insight into an organic scene of outcast musicians working in Nashville and Austin in the mid 1970s. Many of these so-called ‘outlaw country’ musicians were fairly unknown when this film was made yet went on to become recognised as the great songwriters of their generation; Guy Clarke, Townes Van Zandt, Larry Jon Wilson, Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell, Steve Young and Gamble Rodgers to name a few. Heartworn Highways is known for being as influential on the ‘Americana’ genre as Martin Scorsese’s The Last Waltz (The Guardian) .

THE ARTISTS:

After many late night jams at well known roots music haunts, The Betsey Trotwood in Farringdon and Camden’s Green Note, this fabulous lineup were drawn together through a mutual love and respect for the music made by the artists featured in Heartworn Highways. This event is a rare opportunity for the musicians to perform songs written by their heroes alongside their own original material, and share stories of how Heartworn Highways has influenced their own songwriting.
