Watch Jason Isbell Perform at the 2024 Democratic National Convention


Jason Isbell was one of several musicians who took the stage at the opening night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention earlier tonight. Onstage at United Center in Chicago, Illinois, the Americana singer-songwriter performed “Something More Than Free,” the title track from his 2015 Grammy-winning studio album. Watch a replay of the moment below.

Back in 2021, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit released Georgia Blue, a charity album of star-studded cover songs to celebrate President Joe Biden winning the state. The band has since followed up that fun release with their 2023 studio album Weathervanes.

Isbell wasn’t the only artist tonight to show support for Vice President Kamala Harris, who already won the Democratic presidential nomination but will formally certify the vote with a roll call at this week’s convention. The opening night of the DNC also featured Mickey Guyton singing her 2021 song “All American,” as well as James Taylor breaking out his beloved classic “You’ve Got A Friend.” Earlier this month, Bon Iver performed at a Wisconsin rally for Harris, too.
