Drive-By Truckers On The Road

The alt country / Southern rock band spent the spring playing “The Dirt Underneath Tour,” which the group’s PR rep calls “a sit-down halfway acoustic set.” But now Patterson Hood, Mike Cooley and the gang are ready to get loud again.

Fans can expect a setlist spanning Drive-By Truckers’ entire career, including selections from its most recent album, 2014’s English Oceans.
