DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS - HeAthens Homecoming West 2026 (Night 1)
Since their inception in 1996, Drive-By Truckers have carved out a unique niche in the music scene with their raw, unflinching storytelling, heavy-hitting guitar riffs, and blend of Alternative and Southern rock. Founded by Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley, Drive-By Truckers have released 14 studio albums and played more than 2,500 shows over the last three decades. Notable members include long-time drummer Brad Morgan and current members Jay Gonzalez and Matt Patton, who have helped define the band’s evolving sound.
The band’s work has often reflected the state of American society, particularly through their celebrated trilogy of albums — American Band (ATO, 2016), The Unraveling (ATO, 2020), and The New OK (ATO, 2020) — which marked a bold foray into politically charged and topical songwriting, earning acclaim for its insightful commentary and fearless expression.
In 2022, they released Welcome 2 Club XIII (ATO), an introspective look back at their early days and the realities of adult life and parenting. The band continued revisiting key moments from their past with The Complete Dirty South in 2023 and the deluxe reissue of Southern Rock Opera in 2024, followed by a reissue of American Band that reaffirmed the album’s ongoing cultural resonance. The deep-dive into their own legacy continues with the release of Definitive Decoration Day in November 2025, a comprehensive and expanded edition of their beloved 2003 album that first solidified them as one of America’s great rock storytellers.
As they continue to push boundaries and explore new musical territories, Drive-By Truckers remain a vital and dynamic force in rock music — celebrated for their powerful narratives, unflinching honesty, and unwavering dedication to their craft.
