After last year’s album, Weathervanes, Grammy-winning folk singer, Jason Isbell and his band, 400 Unit, are bringing their southern rock act to the UK. Beginning his career in 2000 after securing a publishing agreement with local recording studio, Florence Alabama Music Enterprises (FAME), Isbell has spent the last 24 years cultivating his unique brand of American folk, culturally rooted in the country’s deep south. Initially playing in 2001 with the Drive-By Truckers, an alt-country outfit from Athens, Georgia, Isbell has since gone on to find critical acclaim through much of his solo work. In 2013, the folk singer released his second solo studio album, Southeastern, launching Isbell into the mainstream.
Ten years and four Grammys later, Isbell released Weathervanes with his band 400 Unit. 2023’s Weathervanes marked the sixth studio collaboration between Isbell and 400 unit, seeing features from some of folk’s and country’s biggest names, including Grammy winning singer-songwriter Amanda Shires, Mickey Raphael of Willie Nelson’s Family band, string musician Morgan O’Shaughnessey, and producers Sylivia Massy and Ian Rickard.
2023 also brought Isbell to the silver screen, with the singer playing Bill Smith in Martin Scorsese’s western thriller Killers of the Flower Moon. Having previously worked with Killers of the Flower Moon’s lead actress Lily Gladstone on the television drama, Billions, Isbell continues to prove himself as a promising artist on both stage and film.
Off the back of their latest release, Isbell and 400 Unit will be touring the United States and Europe throughout 2024. Having already played two intimate live shows in London this month, Isbell and Co. will be returning to the US, playing across 26 states from February to August. Starting in November, Jason Isbell and 400 Unit will be travelling back across the Atlantic, playing shows in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, and the UK. Beginning at Brighton’s Dome, the group will be in the UK from November 18th to 25th, tickets to which will be on general sale January 31st and can be purchased here.
