PICK OF THE WEEK: Jason Isbell – Bluebird Theatre – Wednesday, September 4th

Estimated read time 2 min read

It has been a dozen years since Jason Isbell showed up at a party and left in the Drive-By Truckers’ van with two travel days to learn their songs. After 6 productive years with The Truckers, Isbell went out on his own and his solo career has seemed effortless since. Loud records, unrepentantly southern, resplendent with careful songwriting. Isbell will be performing this Wednesday at the Bluebird Theater.

Simply put, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit are the real deal.
