Once inside, grey hair peppered the room as 60 and 70 somethings who had probably seen Dylan or Cash in their prime jockeyed for position at the bar next to fresh young faces who will surely be telling their children that they saw Jason Isbell in his.

The evening was packed with rowdy Rock n’ Roll, dramatic balladry, and a fair amount of psychedelic exploration thrown in for good measure.
