Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit & Father John Misty at The Greek Theatre

Four-time Grammy Award-winner Jason Isbell began his career as a member of the alternative country/Southern rock band Drive-By Truckers, who he performed and wrote with for six years, from 2001 to 2007. Isbell left the band to concentrate on a solo career, releasing his debut solo album, Sirens of the Ditch, in July of that year. Over the next two years, Isbell began to play and write with a backing band, The 400 Unit, with whom he released a self-titled album in 2009. Since then, Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit have released a further four studio albums and have made their name as one of the most popular modern Americana acts. In 2017, Isbell was announced to be the official artist-in-residence at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
