The Drive-By Truckers have been churning out Southern rock anthems for three decades. The band hails from Athens, Georgia, by way of Alabama, but for the last 10 years, co-founder Patterson Hood has called Portland home. The band is celebrating with a weekend of shows at Revolution Hall from Nov. 12-14. The showcase is modeled after the band’s annual “Heathens Homecoming” in Athens, which began in 2000.

THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR:

Hood joins us for a performance and conversation about his 30 years on the road with the band.
