Alabama-born Songwriter Jason Isbell Is Coming To Tuscaloosa To Play The Jupiter In March

The name Jason Isbell has been all over the critics lips these days as they praise his latest release Southeastern. On March 14th Tuscaloosa will get to experience that record live!

Jason Isbell grew up in Greenhill, AL near music hotspot Muscle Shoals. He cut his teeth playing guitar and sharing vocals in the modern southern rock band Drive-By Truckers. The two parted ways in 2007. Isbell then put out a few records both solo and with his new outfit The 400 Unit and started generating buzz as a songwriter and performer.

Then came the game changer. On June 11, 2013 he released his second solo release Southeastern. Upon it’s arrival into the music world, critics immediately picked it up, listened to it, but seemed to have a hard time finding anything bad to say about it.

Southeastern debuted on the Billboard album charts at number 2, just one position behind Lady Antebellum’s Golden.

The Jupiter and will be joined by special guest Amanda Shires. An artist who shares the same legal last name as Jason, shares the stage with him most nights as a member of his band and who is also an accomplished solo artist. Toward the end of 2013, Shires managed to release

another one of the best records of the year,

Down Fell the Doves.
