Both Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit alongside Deer Tick will be returning to Australia for a co-headline tour, bringing some of the brightest stars of the modern US country scene Down Under.
Over the course of ten years, Jason Isbell has made a name for himself as one of Americana’s finest songwriters exemplified by his stunning albums Southeastern, Something More Than Free and his latest effort, The Nashville Sound.
Providence, Rhode Island four-piece Deer Tick are another band who’ve been galvanised by years traversing the highways and byways of America, honing their craft for well over a decade to become one of the most respected acts on the unforgiving American scene.
Having long straddled the divide between country-rock and straight-out rock’n’roll, Deer Tick’s most recent pair of releases Vol 1 and Vol 2 (their sixth and seventh albums respectively, released concurrently earlier this year) showcase the band’s polished dichotomy, Vol 1 focussing on the band’s softer Americana tendencies while Vol 2 flexes it muscles to showcase Deer Tick’s more punk-inspired, garage rock predilections.
