Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter/guitarist Jason Isbell and his stellar band the 400 Unit have announced an autumn European tour that includes 5 UK dates this October.
Isbell is putting the final touches on his highly anticipated follow up to 2015’s two-time Grammy Award winning album Something More Than Free. Isbell recorded the album at the legendary RCA Studio A in Nashville with Grammy Award-winner Dave Cobb returning as producer. Cobb also produced Isbell’s acclaimed breakthrough album Southeastern (2013).
The new, yet-to-be-titled collection will officially be the first Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit album since 2011’s critically acclaimed Here We Rest. The mighty 400 Unit is: Derry deBorja (keyboards), Chad Gamble (drums), Jimbo Hart (bass) and Sadler Vaden (guitar). Look for the announcement of the spring/summer release soon. Isbell recently posted this Teaser Clip on his Twitter.
