As part of our Live Nuggets at JamFest series, we’re bringing you a rebroadcast of Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit’s legendary October 13, 2017 performance at the Ryman Auditorium—airing in full tonight at 9 PM EST, only on Live Nuggets Radio.
Get ready, JamFam. Tonight is something truly special.
This isn’t just any live show. This is Isbell at the Ryman—a career-defining set that’s become the stuff of modern Americana legend. Known as the Mother Church of Country Music, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium was the perfect stage for Jason Isbell and his powerhouse band to deliver an emotionally charged, sonically rich, and utterly unforgettable performance.
🎶 Capturing Lightning in a Bottle
Isbell’s 2017 run at the Ryman followed the breakout success of his Grammy-winning album The Nashville Sound, which earned top honors for Best Americana Album and Best American Roots Song for the aching, timeless ballad “If We Were Vampires.”
Tonight’s show captures that moment of magic—a perfect storm of critical acclaim, fan adoration, and live performance brilliance. Expect songs from The Nashville Sound, deeper cuts from Isbell’s solo catalog, and reimagined classics from his earlier years with Drive-By Truckers. The emotional range is wide—stories of loss, redemption, hope, and hard-won wisdom.
It’s storytelling at its most raw and real, delivered with the fire and finesse only Isbell and the 400 Unit can bring.
