Jason Isbell is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter and guitarist, known for his poignant lyrics and roots-infused blend of country, rock, and Americana music. Originally hailing from Green Hill, Alabama, Isbell's career began as a member of the Southern rock band Drive-By Truckers, with whom he played from 2001 until 2007. During his time with the band, Isbell's songwriting prowess became evident through songs like "Outfit" and "Decoration Day".

Embarking on a solo career, Isbell released his first album, "Sirens of the Ditch," in 2007. However, it was his 2013 release, "Southeastern," that marked a turning point in his career, garnering widespread critical acclaim and unveiling a more personal and introspective songwriting approach following his overcoming of alcohol addiction. The 10 Year Anniversary Edition of "Southeastern" is a testament to the album's enduring impact. Isbell's subsequent works, such as "Something More Than Free" and the track "24 Frames," have continued to receive positive reviews and have earned him multiple Grammy Awards, solidifying his position as a powerful voice in contemporary Americana music. With his backing band, The 400 Unit, Isbell's live performances, like those featured on "Live at the Shoals Theatre," exhibit his profound storytelling and musical dexterity, resonating with audiences across genres and borders.
