JASON ISBELL AND THE 400 UNIT AT THE KALAMAZOO STATE THEATRE

The Kalamazoo State Theatre, one of the city’s most storied entertainment landmarks, is
excited to announce Jason Isbell And The 400 Unit Saturday, June 22, 2024. Fans can get
early access to tickets during an online-only local presale happening this Thursday, December
10, at 10 AM. General public ticket sales begin on Friday, December 8, at 10 AM.

Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, will be performing songs from their new album Weathervanes. A
Jason Isbell record always lands like a decoder ring in the ears and hearts of his audience, a
soundtrack to his world and magically to theirs, too. Weathervanes carries the same revelatory
power. This is a storyteller at the peak of his craft observing his fellow wanderers, looking inside
and trying to understand, reducing a universe to four minutes. He shrinks life small enough to
name the fear and then strip it away, helping his listeners make sense of how two plus two stops
equaling four once you reach a certain age — and carry a certain amount of scars.

“There is something about boundaries on this record,” Isbell says. “As you mature, you still
attempt to keep the ability to love somebody fully and completely while you’re growing into an
adult and learning how to love yourself.”

Weathervanes is a collection of grown-up songs: Songs about adult love, about change, about the
danger of nostalgia and the interrogation of myths, about cruelty and regret, and redemption. Life
and death songs played for and by grown-ass people. Some will make you cry alone in your car,
and others will make you sing along with thousands of strangers in a big summer pavilion, united

in the great miracle of being alive. The record features the rolling thunder of Isbell’s fearsome
400 Unit, who’ve earned a place in the rock ‘n’ roll cosmos alongside the greatest backing
ensembles, as powerful and essential to the storytelling as The E Street Band or the Wailers.
Jason Isbell has established himself as one of the most respected and celebrated songwriters of
his generation. The North Alabama native possesses an incredible penchant for identifying and
articulating some of the deepest yet simplest human emotions and turning them into beautiful
poetry through song. Isbell sings of the everyday human condition with thoughtful, heartfelt, and
sometimes brutal honesty. Isbell broke through in 2013 with the release of Southeastern. His next
two albums, Something More Than Free (2015) and The Nashville Sound (2017), won Grammy
Awards for Best Americana Album & Best American Roots Song. Isbell's song "Maybe It's
Time" was featured in the 2019 reboot of A Star Is Born.
