He's apparently a minor celebrity in Ireland due to his song Galway Girl being a pitch-perfect Irish folk ballad from a Texas-raised Virginian who got his start in Nashville.
That's a good song, too.
Steve Earle has his own show on Outlaw Country, another sat station I listen to. I guess he's really good friends with Shooter Jennings, he also has his own show on Outlaw Country, plays a lot of his dad's music actually, then he'll turn around and play some NIN or Devo or Johnny Cash, all over the map. Shooter has his own stuff but he NEVER plays his own music. Not once. He won't toot his own horn, so gotta respect that attitude.
