Jason Isbell, James McMurtry Team for Winter 2018 Tour Dates

Americana powers, unite! James McMurtry is joining Jason Isbell on tour in 2018.

Isbell and his band the 400 Unit, along with Murtry, will launch a two-month tour in January of 2018. As reported by Rolling Stone, the men will make stops in a total of 22 cities, including Oklahoma City, Okla.; Dallas, Texas; Milwaukee, Wis.; Albany, N.Y.; Brooklyn, N.Y.; Baltimore, Md.; and Atlanta, Ga. The tour is scheduled to conclude in the middle of February in Charleston, W.V.; a complete list of stops can be seen below.

“James McMurtry is one of my very few favorite songwriters on Earth,” Isbell tells Rolling Stone. “[He] has that rare gift of being able to make a listener laugh out loud at one line and choke up at the next. I don’t think anybody writes better lyrics.”

Isbell and McMurtry’s 2018 tour dates won’t be the first time the pair has toured together: In 2011, Isbell and McMurtry were labelmates, at Lightning Rod Records, and went out on the road together.

Isbell and the 400 Unit released a new studio album, The Nashville Sound, back in June. They recently completed a multi-night residency at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium. McMurtry’s latest album, Complicated Game, was released in 2015.
