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."

The Truckers are a phenomenal rock band! Must see if you love southern rock!
The Archer is a very initmate venue. Two bars each floor and no bad seat in the house. I would recommend seeing your favorite band here. The Drive by Truckers can still rock, great performance. Arguably Deer Tick is even better.
Been going to Marymoor for years. Seems this year the sound system was redone somehow because it seemed much louder than previous years. The first band, Thelma and the Sleaze, was great fun and did notice it was louder. Then Deer Tick came on and it was overwhelmingly loud. Too loud. Usually don't need earplugs for outdoor shows, but will bring them now. Drive-By Truckers weren't as loud as Deer Tick, but still would have preferred having ear plugs.
Deer Tick was great, as always, but should’ve headlined. They only played a short hour. Drive by Truckers were “whatever”. Left the venue early, because had enough of the same. the sound was bad for all 3 bands.
First time at the Commodore, 7th time seeing DBT. Great show - of course - and great venue!
Couldn’t hardly see the musicians. The lighting barely made them visible and they didn’t have the big screens projected like they did with opening band. The sound seemed off as well. I also wish GSR had a general admission area where people could stand. The whole audience was seated and it just made for a low-energy show. Bring back GA GSR!
I was really looking forward to this concert. They just phoned it in. No energy. Deer Ticks were so much better.
The energy level went down a tad between Deer Tick and Drive-by Truckers. They also turned off the video screens on the sides of the stage, and the stage was dark; very hard to see from the mezzanine section of the GSR Grand Theater
One of the best DBT shows I’ve seen since Jason left. Great band, material, pacing. Deer Tick was really good as well. Stubbs was easy to get into, smooth ticketing, etc.
