Jason Isbell with James McMurtry

Jason Isbell's rescheduled September concert comes to the River Center with a little lagniappe in the form of opening act James McMurtry. McMurtry, depending on your generation, is famous either for being the son of the author of Lonesome Dove or in his own right as the singer of the oh-God-we-have-to-see-the-family anthem "Choctaw Bingo." He'll get the stage nice and warm for Isbell, one of the most talented and best-beloved country songsters of the new generation, who appears with his band the 400 Unit. Tickets from $36. 8 pm. raisingcanesrivercenter.com.
