Broadberry Entertainment Group, in partnership with Chartway Arena, announcing Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit with support from Alejandro Escovedo at Chartway Arena on September 19th, 2024. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show will begin at 7:30 p.m.
Isbell is fresh off the release of his latest album, Weathervanes. The record features the rolling thunder of Isbell’s fearsome 400 Unit, who’ve earned a place in the rock ‘n’ roll cosmos alongside the greatest backing ensembles, as powerful and essential to the storytelling as The E Street Band or the Wailers. They make a big noise, as Isbell puts it, and he feels so comfortable letting them be a main prism through which much of the world hears his art. He can be private but with them behind him he transforms, and there is a version of himself that can only exist in their presence. When he plays a solo show, he is in charge of the entire complicated juggle. On stage with the 400 Unit, he can be a guitar hero when he wants, and a conductor when he wants, and a smiling fan of the majesty of his bandmates when he wants to hang back and listen to the sound.
