Jason Isbell said : "even if it’s somebody from the other side of the aisle, a conservative politician, I have respect for people who do what they think is right, and not what they think will benefit them. Doug has continued to make those kinds of decisions, so I’ll continue to support him”. Tuesday’s sold-out event at the Lyric was a fundraiser for Jones, with ticket prices that ranged from $100 to $2,800. The theater, a 1914 vaudeville house that was restored for a re-opening in 2016 , has a capacity of about 750 people. Proceeds from Isbell’s concert will benefit the Doug Jones for Senate campaign. Isbell, who performed at Lyric in a solo acoustic format, also appeared on stage with Jones in front of a cheering crowd. Jones, 65, is running for re-election this year, unopposed on the Democratic ticket. He’ll face the Republican nominee in the November elections. “We have started to change the state, from one end of Alabama to the other,” Jones told the audience at the Lyric. He decried divisive politics in his brief pre-concert remarks, echoing his campaign theme of “One Alabama”. Isbell said he might not agree to perform for just any Democrat hoping to maintain a senate seat in Alabama. “I consider myself to be a Democrat, but not at all costs. I try to go with the best person for the job, and I definitely feel like Doug will be that,” Isbell told AL.com. “I think Doug cares more for the people of Alabama than he does for himself. And there’s a lot of evidence of that, if you want to go back and look at his record, I think it becomes obvious that he’s not in it for his own personal gain. He’s in it to represent the people of Alabama. And I don’t think that will be true of his opponent. I just don’t. I might be wrong, but I think his opponent will likely prove to be somebody who’s a little more self-serving. And I think there’ll be evidence that points to that”. This isn’t the first time Isbell, an Americana artist, has used his music to give Jones a boost. In December 2017, Isbell played a free solo show at SideTracks Music Hall in Huntsville, to help Jones rustle up votes in a special election for the U.S. Senate. At the time, Jones was vying against Republican Roy Moore for the Senate seat previously held by Jeff Sessions . Jones won that election, becoming the first Democrat to win a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama since 1992. “You know, when I played a show in Huntsville during Doug’s last campaign, it struck me when I was up there on stage. It was really moving for me,"
