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.

Jason Isbell is a master songwriter, one of the best alive, and also a terrific guitar player. He and his band put on a great show with a very well crafted set list. If you get the chance to see them live, do it!
My 6th(?) time seeing JI400U and must say it was up there with the best of them. Great setlist and pacing. Opening with “Super 8”?! Yes please. The typical closer played first, followed by “High Road” delivered huge full-band energy, but the front row$ crowd of pre-concert burger-coma grey-hairs just absorbed the wattage like tractor-tires on dynamite. Songs from his most recent record done solo acoustic were upgraded to full band treatment…..OMG! I wish every artist (that happens to have a full-pro band) would do this. You arrive with familiarity but are then treated to an amazing sonic experience. “Gravelweed” was particularly amazing. Anyway… Great new bass player; smiling, grooving. Plus that guy from Missouri… Gamble, Vaden, deBorja; the reason I keep going back. This band NEEDS to play the Commodore Ballroom to people standing, grooving and dancing.
Seen JI twice before and it pains me to say both concerts were better than this last one. The sound was muddy and murky, especially the mic on Jason's vocals. This really was a shame because his lyrics are what set him apart. He also seemed a bit rushed despite leaving on a nice encore. The lead guitar player was fantastic--fully engaged and inventive.
Jason isbell is a master. Venue was good, though acoustics weren't as good as queen E
Excellent concert! I haven’t had that much fun in ages! Great music and performance!!!
As always, a great show from a great band. Anna is a great addition to the 400 unit and Sadler and Jason’s jammy Crazy Horse moments are pure magic.
Get Venue ... Great sound ... Awesome Band .... Awesome Set
Loved the opening act, Courtney Marie Andrews was amazing! Beautiful voice, incredibly talented guitar playing…flawless!! Jason and the 400 Unit never disappoint! Loved the set list, all of our favourites, booking Montreal now! 10/10, can not get enough of these guys!!
Justin Isbell and his band are a super talented outfit and we thoroughly enjoyed his music and his interaction with the audience. Would definitely go see him again. Venue was awesome too!
Really enjoyed Jason Isbell and his band . Look fwd to see them again . Better no opening act and an intermission and longer set from Mr Isbell
