Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

As a nonprofit organization, the Free Clinic depends on financial support from the community to serve patients without passing on costs to them. The Benefit Concert is one of the organization’s primary fundraisers, and sponsorships, from $600 to $25,000 and above, play a significant role in helping the organization reach its financial goals.

Each sponsorship level offers significant perks, including tickets to the private Sponsors’ Cocktail Party prior to the concert, premier seating at the concert and formal recognition that will be seen by a large audience.

Six-time Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Jason Isbell is one of the most respected and celebrated artists of his generation. The North Alabama native possesses an incredible penchant for identifying and articulating some of the deepest, yet simplest, human emotions, and turning them into beautiful poetry through song. Isbell sings of the everyday human condition with thoughtful, heartfelt, and sometimes brutal honesty. 

After releasing multiple critically-acclaimed albums, appearing in an Academy Award-nominated film, Killers of the Flower Moon, and touring the world with his band, the 400 Unit, Isbell began 2025 with a change of pace. A solo record. Simply Isbell and his voice and an acoustic guitar, an all-mahogany 1940 Martin 0-17. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios in NYC, ‘Foxes in the Snow’ further demonstrates his pure talent as a songwriter and musician. As Stereogum so aptly put it, "the barebones intimacy recenters the artist behind the persona and serves as a reminder that this guy can write a damn song." 

About the Free Clinic:

Proceeds from this Benefit Concert enable the Charlottesville Free Clinic to provide high-quality, compassionate care through more than 7,600 patient visits from low-income uninsured individuals who would otherwise lack access to healthcare. The Free Clinic offers essential medical care, dental services, and free medications to community members without affordable access to healthcare, serving as an open door to healthcare for neighbors in need.

“Every day at the Charlottesville Free Clinic, we witness the profound impact that accessible healthcare has on our community, transforming lives by removing the impossible choice between paying bills or seeking medical care,” says Willa Barnhardt, the Free Clinic’s Executive Director. “Our network of dedicated volunteers and staff provides a crucial lifeline for thousands of working families across Charlottesville and Albemarle County who would otherwise go without medications, doctor visits, and dental care—ensuring that everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances, can live healthier, more dignified lives. We are incredibly grateful for our partners at Red Light Management and Ting Pavilion who support the Free Clinic with the annual Benefit Concert. We are also thankful for Emmylou Harris for supporting our mission.”
