Where the Bands Are (Jason Isbell 12 February 2025, Dublin)
When Jason Isbell announced his โAn Intimate Evening with Jason Isbellโ-tour, I knew this was a show I didnโt want to miss. However, with only five dates in Europe (and none of them in Sweden) it was going to be tricky to find a suitable one. Luckily, a weekโs school holiday in February fitted quite... Continue Reading →
