Jason Isbell

In July 2018, Jason Isbell took the stage at the Newport Folk Festival for a memorable performance of "Ohio" alongside the legendary David Crosby. At this point in his career, Isbell had just released his critically acclaimed album 'The Nashville Sound' the previous year, which showcased his growth as an artist and further solidified his status in Americana and country rock. The album not only received accolades but also won a Grammy for Best Americana Album. What makes this live performance special is the heartfelt collaboration with Crosby, a nod to the lineage of music that influences Isbell. Their duet embodies a moment of artistic camaraderie, blending Isbell’s introspective storytelling with Crosby's iconic harmonies. This enchanting union at a revered festival captures not just a performance, but a deeply emotional connection to music's roots.
