(DP) Outlaw rocker Jesse Dayton is having an action-packed fall with a host of exciting projects, including an exclusive interview with Steve Earle airing on SiriusXM Outlaw Country this Saturday, September 28th at 9PM EST, his ongoing Road to Redemption tour, and a much-anticipated role as the opening act for Tab Benoit on his I Hear Thunder tour this December. Benoit's new album, which just hit #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart this week, is fueling excitement for their upcoming tour. Dayton's high-octane performances, combined with these recent milestones, have made him one of the most talked-about artists in outlaw country and blues right now.

Jesse Dayton's Insightful Interview with Steve Earle Airs This Saturday - Jesse Dayton and Steve Earle sat down for a rare, in-depth interview that will air on SiriusXM Outlaw Country this Saturday, September 21st at 9 PM ET. The two artists, who share deep Texas roots, reflected on their careers and the musical traditions that shaped their work. For Jesse, this interview was a full-circle moment, recalling how he first saw Steve's rockabilly band perform at Antone's in Texas as a teenager and later became one of only three artists-alongside Earle and Lucinda Williams-to perform on all nine Outlaw Country Cruises.

"The interview we did on Steve's show is probably one of the more insightful conversations I've ever had," Dayton says. "Steve knows the part of Texas I grew up in like the back of his hand. We talked about everything from oil rig workers blasting blues and honky tonk music, to our time around Townes Van Zandt, to the TV and film projects we've both been involved with over the years."

The interview also hinted at possible future collaborations between Dayton and Earle. For fans of both artists, this conversation is a can't-miss event, offering a rare glimpse into the rich history of the outlaw country scene.

Dayton is showcasing tracks from his latest album, Hard Way Blues, produced by Grammy-winner Shooter Jennings, which debuted at #2 on the Billboard Blues Albums chart.

"I've been blown away by the energy on this tour," Dayton says. "The crowds have been amazing, and it feels great to bring Hard Way Blues to life on stage."
Joining Dayton on the tour are Mike Stinson, known for his soulful songwriting, and Ghalia Volt, a rising blues-rock star whose transatlantic trio has been electrifying audiences.
