Isbell and his band, The 400 Unit — which is named after a mental health treatment facility in Florence, Alabama — will play the Royal Theatre in Victoria on Monday as part of the current tour, marking the rootsy singer-songwriter’s local debut.
When: Monday, March 6, 7:30 p.m.The current tour by Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit runs at a fairly heavy clip until Aug. 13, when the trek finally comes to a rest. That is nothing new for one of the hardest-working rock bands today.
“There’s a magic here, from a musical perspective, that didn’t happen anywhere else,” Isbell said during an October interview with WAAY-TV in Huntsville, Alabama. His 2018 album, Live From the Ryman, which is among the highest-charting albums of his career, is a document of these performances. Isbell remains a big booster of the area around where he grew up. Songs like Alabama Pines and TVA, about the Tennessee Valley Authority, and albums such as Southeastern , The Nashville Sound , and Georgia Blue , have made him the region’s unofficial spokesperson. That isn’t something Isbell takes to heart as he navigates his evr-blossoming career.
“I’m not a depressive person, but I certainly can get very sad,” he told AL.com. “I’m sure anybody that’s heard my music would know that. A good way to keep myself from just being pulled down with the tide with all the dark, sad stuff that’s happening in the world right now is just be where I am and be aware. And out of that comes this sort of natural appreciation for it.”
