Truckers for the holidays
From Jenn in the DBT camp...
Hey y'all! I just wanted to send out a lil' news and encouragement for you to....
Spend your Holidays with the Drive-By Truckers!
Thanksgiving

Join the band and all their friends, family and fans in celebrating this auspicious event at two shows! On Friday Nov 25 at The Alabama Theatre in Birmingham AL, The DBT play after co-bill The North Mississippi Allstars . The second show is on Saturday Nov 26 at The Tabernacle in Atlanta GA, the Truckers will be playing an early show (doors at 7pm) with special guests Don Chambers (8pm) and The Tom Collins (8:45pm) - DBT plays at 9:45pm.

New Year's ...
