Idaho fans of Steve Earle are loving life these days. After being ignored by their singer-songwriter hero for what felt like centuries, they now get a dose of Earle every year or two. And you know the guy’s in a good mood right now. Earle spent three days earlier this month curating and hosting Woodyfest, a series of intimate shows in celebration of Woody Guthrie’s 100th birthday. He’ll bring his backing band, the Dukes, for this concert, so be ready for a rowdy show of politically charged rock, folk and Texas country jams.
