Jason Isbell February 28, 2010

After spending six years with the genre-defying roots rock ensemble Drive-By Truckers, singer/guitarist Isbell amicably left the group in 2007 to pursue a solo career. Isbell had already displayed his songwriting prowess during his tenure with the Truckers, and he funneled those talents into Sirens of the Ditch, a bluesy, punk-infused lesson in guitar tones and Southern swagger. Backed by a band dubbed the 400 Unit, Isbell took his songs on the road and soon began penning another album, which he recorded with the 400 Unit in 2008 to critical acclaim. A must-see songwriter ruminating on issues of love, youth, and war, he sets out on solo tour with a special stop at StageOne.
