Happy August! It's cool and crisp out there today, so come get steamy tonight at Waiting Room. This evening, the new-ish venue keeps their momentum going with Jason Isbell, an accomplished singer/songwriter well known from his days with Drive-By Truckers. Fans everywhere of old-fashioned Southern Rock, slow-paced, powerful ballads and smooth-shaved men, rejoice! Tonight's going to be memorable.
His tour's mantra is "Beware ventures which require new clothes, and not a new wearer of clothes." The interpretation of that largely depends on your reading level and imagination, but to me that means that this show is going to be very personal and very honest. He's really putting himself out there. Most of his songs are like that; there are going to be moments tonight where you'll say to yourself "Wow, this sounds like something I've been through" or "Holy shit, he's talking about my entire life." His new album, Southeastern, is a critically acclaimed, metaphorically-speaking wardrobe change; tonight we'll get to see how everything fits.
Show starts at 8. Tickets are still available for $17.
