Jason Isbell Announces Eight-Night 2021 Ryman Auditorium Residency
Jason Isbell’s Ryman Auditorium residency will reestablish its place as a Nashville fall tradition in 2021 with eight nights of performances. After being forced to take 2020 off because of the pandemic, the singer-songwriter’s run of shows will return to the Ryman October 15th and stretch through October 24th.
In addition to fiery sets from Isbell and his band the 400 Unit, the Ryman residency shows have also become known for their thoughtfully selected supporting performers. In 2018 he opted for Nashville-based bands like Bully and Diarrhea Planet. The most recent series in 2019 featured Mississippi-based blues artists like Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and Jimmy “Duck” Holmes.
