  • AMANDA SHIRES to the Sunset
    AMANDA SHIRES To The Sunset “It’s all rock & roll – no golf!” is how acclaimed singer/songwriter/violinist Amanda Shires describes her electrifying fifth album, To The Sunset. She’s borrowed a lyric from the effervescent track “Break Out the Champagne,” one of ten deftly crafted songs that comprise her powerful new recording. The Texas-born road warrior, new mom, and recently minted MFA in creative writing has mined a range of musical influences to reveal an Amanda Shires many didn’t know existed. “Isn’t it refreshing?” Shires asks. Indeed. Distorted electric guitars, effects pedals, swirling keys and synths, and rockin’ rhythms certainly suit Shires’ visceral songcraft and lilting soprano. It’s been a jam-packed eighteen months since the release of Shires’ critically hailed My Piece of Land: constant touring with her band and as a member of husband Jason Isbell’s 400 Unit; finishing her MFA, after her laptop and thesis were stolen on the road; and winning the Americana Association’s 2017 Emerging Artist award – all while nurturing a toddler. Armed with stacks of journals and an autoharp originally owned by venerable songwriter/producer Paul Kennerley, she wrote a batch of new songs in a flurry of focus and enforced solitude – in a closet at the Shires/Isbell rural abode. “With a two-year-old running around, there’s nowhere to hide,” Shires explains. While Isbell watched their daughter, she wrote from 10 am till midnight: “I just started writing and tearing apart my journals and taping the parts I liked to the wall, and shredding the rest and putting it into my compost, which I then feed to my garden.” She reconvened with Land’s producer Dave Cobb (Isbell; Sturgill Simpson) at Nashville’s historic sound-drenched RCA Studio A, with likeminded sonic adventurers, drummer Jerry Pentecost and keyboardist Peter Levin, alongside Isbell on guitar and Cobb on bass.

  • Jason Isbell Southeastern
    Jason Isbell Southeastern Release date: June 11th / Southeastern Records “Beware all ventures which require new clothes, and not a new wearer of clothes.” - Henry David Thoreau Southeastern is not a record Jason has made before, and not simply because the glorious storm and drama of his band, the 400 Unit, is absent. They will tour together; it's not a break- up record, not an album of dissolving, but, rather, songs of discovery. And not at all afraid, not even amid the tears. Which is to say that he has grown up. That it has been a dozen years since he showed up at a party and left in the Drive-By Truckers' van with two travel days to learn their songs. And then taught them some of his songs in the bargain. Jason Isbell's solo career has seemed equally effortless, from Sirens of the Ditch (2007) to Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit (2009), through Here We Rest (2011) and last year's Live From Alabama. Loud records, unrepentantly southern, resplendent with careful songwriting. Songs which inspire and intimidate other musicians, and critics. “ A heart on the run / keeps a hand on the gun / can't trust anyone,” Jason sings just now, his words brushing gently atop an acoustic guitar figure “Cover Me Up,” the song with which he has chosen to open Southeastern. Such tenderness. An act of contrition, an affirmation of need, his voice straining not to break: “Girl leave your boots by the bed / We ain't leaving this room / Till someone needs medical help / Or the magnolias bloom.” He sighs into the phone, considering what he's done, and why.

  • Isbell and the 400 Unit Plan Acoustic Show for MSU Riley Center on April 11
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Media – Leading Edges, 601.483.9810, [email protected] Performance – MSU Riley Center Box Office, 601.696.2200, [email protected] Isbell and the 400 Unit Plan Acoustic Show for MSU Riley Center on April 11 MERIDIAN, MS – Expect heartache, healing and hope, as well as breathtaking moments of musical beauty, as the MSU Riley Center presents An Acoustic Evening with Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit on Thursday, April 11, at 7:30 p.m. The band’s latest album, “The Nashville Sound,” won Grammy Awards for best Americana album and best American roots song (“If We Were Vampires”). If they gave out Grammys for emotional intensity, honesty and wry humor, Isbell and the 400 Unit would have swept those, too. Isbell, a native of Green Hill, Alabama, became a star as a member of Drive-By Truckers. After years of personal troubles, he has found peace and even joy with his wife and frequent vocal duet partner, violinist Amanda Shires, and their young daughter. His songs look back on the travails of the past and forward to the promise of the future with clarity and insight. The 400 Unit provides a musical setting that matches the simultaneous restraint and power of his lyrics. Hard-earned wisdom. Profound truths. A quintessentially American artist at the height of his powers. An Acoustic Evening with Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit will bring it all to the MSU Riley Center stage in a show you’ll talk about forever. Tickets for An Acoustic Evening with Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit and the other performances in the Spring/Summer Series are on sale at the MSU Riley Center Box Office and on the website, www.msurileycenter.com.
