Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit Live in Concert
Jason Isbell was born into a musical family in Green Hill, Alabama, in 1979. His grandfather and uncle taught him to play various musical instruments, and the young musician started playing the mandolin when he was just 6. Destined for a life in the spotlight, he joined the Drive-By Truckers in 2001 at the age of 22. Isbell was a member of the Drive-By Truckers for six years before cutting out for a solo career. He released his first solo album, Sirens of the Ditch, in 2007. Some of his most notable work began when he assembled a group of musicians that would become known as The 400 Unit. The group consists of Sadler Vaden of Drivin' N Cryin' on guitar, Jimbo Hart on bass, Derry deBorja on keyboards and accordion, Chad Gamble on drums and Isbell's wife Amanda Shires on fiddle. The 400 Unit is playfully named after the psychiatric ward of Eliza Coffee Memorial Hospital in Florence, Alabama. Isbell and the band's first collaboration resulted in the release of the self-titled album Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit in 2009. In 2011, the collaboration continued with the release of Here We Rest. The track "Alabama Pines" was named Song of the Year at the 2012 Americana Music Awards. The Nashville Sound was released in 2017, winning the Grammy Award for Best Americana Album, with Isbell winning an additional Grammy Award for Best American Roots Song. In 2020, the group released Reunions, with the song "Be Afraid" hitting No. 5 on the Adult Alternative Songs chart. During the November 2020 election, Isbell announced he would make a charity album if Joe Biden won the state of Georgia. When this came to pass, Isbell worked to release the cover album Georgia Blue the following year. The album was a collaboration by various artists, and Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit contributed a cover of the Metallica song "Sad But True." Isbell has won four Grammy Awards between 2001 and 2007.
For those of you who appreciate both musical talent and incredible songwriting, Jason Isbell brings them both together as well as anyone since Billy Joel. I have seen JI400U 3 times (LA, Omaha, Fargo) and he is PERFECTION in a smaller venue like the Astro. I would recommend that if he is anywhere near your area......TO GO!!!! :-)
The Astro needs to wait before the show is over to start sweeping the floors.
First time at the Astro. Loved the venue and Jason Isbell was great. Drink lines were short and staff was friendly. I live in Kansas City and wish we had a quality venue that offered indoor/outdoor stages with the kind of quality acts that I see on the schedule here. My only “complaint” was the communication on swapping tickets because the show moved from outside to inside. Dropped by at 600 hoping to pick up my tickets and come back, but that wasn’t allowed. Not a huge deal, but put a bit of a crimp in the plans for the night. Wish there was a better way to handle this, but the staff was super helpful and put seats were probably better than what I paid for! Can’t wait to return to another show here!
Jason and the 400 unit never disappoint. Best rock n roll band touring right now. Also the show was originally supposed to be outdoor at the Astro Amphitheater but because it was raining the show was moved indoors to the Astro theatre. Venue was really cool and had great sound. I ll definitely be back.
Jason Isbell and his band absolutely rocked the house! His show was one of the best I’ve ever been to and you definitely get your money’s worth. The acoustics were top notch and his voice was strong and clear. Jason needs to be known to EVERYONE because he is one of the best songwriters and performers of our time! So lucky to have been at this show! His opening act, Jobi Rocco, was also fantastic and I’ve added her to my Pandora lineup. Wonderful night in Nebraska (traveling from Phoenix)
We enjoyed the concert. Second event at the Sound and was great. We really enjoyed the North MS Allstars as they are our all time favs. The Sound has room for improvements, but we look forward to visiting the venue again in the future.
The Venue was good. I believe the stage should have been built higher as there is no upward slope or terracing where the audience sits. So if you bought good seats, and most people stand, you must stand too. I'll likely never buy premium seat here again. And will sit in the grass. Loved the North Mississippi Allstars, but will not likely see Jason Isbell again. I'm spoiled by Jazz and Bluegrass, and didn't care for the amount of distortion Jason and his band employed. I prefer my sounds quite a bit cleaner. I will see the North Mississippi Allstars again:)
Fantastic players doled out fantastic songs. North MS Allstars did the same.
Sound Amphitheater is phenomenal ! Seating is comfortable easy access Concert was great from start to finish A pleasant night out
North Mississippi Allstars perfect to open for Isbell, who’s at the top of his game. Brand new venue was on point- acoustics, amenities, vibe and even great weather. Song selection and energy was great - seems a good time was had by all!
