DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS IN CONCERT:
Southern rockers Drive-By Truckers have a penchant for tradition, recording their studio albums in analog and insisting on releasing their records on vinyl. The band's traditional approach extends to their beloved live concerts, where craft and musicianship take center stage and marathon sets are the norm. The Truckers may orbit just under the mainstream's radar, but their devoted followers wouldn't have it any other way — as one of the best-kept secrets in music, the band has fans eagerly awaiting their intimate 2014 tour dates in support of English Oceans, their tenth studio album.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1996, the Drive-By Truckers' path to success was slow but steady, aided by a grassroots online presence and their constant touring. Following the release of their first two albums Gangstabilly (1998) and Pizza Deliverance (1999), the band embarked on their first US tour, further added to their reputation as consummate performers with electrifying live sets. 2005's The Dirty South marked the band's first appearance on the Billboard 200, which the band has steadily climbed with each subsequent release. Following the release of their tenth studio album English Oceans in 2014, the band will hit the road for another rollicking tour.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Once again DBT do not disappoint. This is a band that puts out excellent albums, and a rare occurrence where they are even better live."
"I have seen DBT 30+ times and they always make me look around for the next show! I love their energy and how they play off each other! I have never been to a bad show and this one was no different."
"As always, DBT kept me smiling and singing. Hood and Cooley took turns telling us our favorite yarns, up close and personal."
Overall the show was good, I really enjoyed it. Band was tight and bright. I was rather surprised they did not play "Zip City"or come back for at least 1 encore!
The truckers are just badass! The presentation and sound was outstanding!
Everything was exceptionally great!! The band was fantastic and delivered!! Love the venue and ready for another killer show!!!
The vibe, the crowd, and the sound were all at the highest level.
Great concert. I have wanted to see the Drive By Truckers for years and the Aztec was the perfect venue. Intimate, comfortable and great sound system. The DBT did not fail as they played a great selection of songs. All in all a great experience. I would definitely recommend the Aztec for seeing any performer.
Always a blast. And the Overton Park Shell is such a gem for live music. Closest you will ever get to such a great band.
American Aquarium and DBT were great. Very energetic and great set lists but you couldn’t hear the vocals. You could hear the individual instruments but voices were washed out. It’s disappointing because lyrics are an important aspect of both of these bands. Loved the venue but they need to work on the mixing.
This was my second time seeing Drive-By Truckers live, and my first time at Charleston Music Hall. I was visiting from Seattle. What a great venue! We had seats in the balcony and they were great. The band played for 2+ hours. Love this band, loved this venue. Definitely check this place out if you are visiting Charleston. And check out Drive-By Truckers, wherever you are!
DBT rocked Chattanooga. Band always puts on a great show.
Both the opener, American Aquarium, and the Drive-By Truckers were on point, on fire and highly entertaining.
