JASON ISBELL
TOURING AUSTRALIA MARCH & APRIL 2016
Jason Isbell, along with his stellar band The 400 Unit, will return to Australia in March and April 2016 to play dates in Melbourne, Bendigo, Sydney and Bluesfest in Byron Bay.
Released in July, his incredible new album Something More Than Free, has simply reinforced what a formidable and respected songwriter Isbell is.
Recorded with producer David Cobb, who was also at the helm of the 2014 award winning album Southeastern, Something More Than Free debuted at #1 on three Billboard charts – Top Rock Album, Country Album & Folk Albums – it has set airplay records around the globe and has critics raving. Rollingstone Magazine being one: “Jason Isbell is arguably the most revered roots-rock singer-songwriter of his generation.” The Music another: “Alt-country? Americana? Whatever, he’s made another utterly towering record.” And it’s hard to argue.
Isbell, who has toured Australia in the past with Ryan Adams and Justin Townes Earle plus his own headlining tour in 2014, is currently on tour in the United States and recently played four straight sold out shows at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium which serves as a true testament that he has indeed arrived.
If you didn’t see Jason Isbell and his band on their last trip down under in 2014 chances are you’ve been regretting it ever since. If that is you: Don’t make the same mistake twice. It is special. It is Jason Isbell.
“An artist at the top of his game…Phenomenal.”
The Music 2014
“Something special, in other words, right from the start.”
Sydney Morning Herald 2014
“It’s a master class in songwriting from an artist who’s never sounded more confident.” Rollingstone Magazine 2015
“Two from two proves it: Isbell is up there with the top rank of today’s songwriters.”
