UPDATE: Rhythm & Roots director considering all details following COVID-related stipulation from headliner Jason Isbell

Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion executive director Leah Ross says they are taking time to consider all of the information they have to see what kind of impact the demands of headliner Jason Isbell will have on their festival next month.

Isbell announced Monday that he will not perform at any venue in the coming months if the promoters allow unvaccinated fans into the show. Isbell said spectators must present their COVID vaccination card or proof of a negative test before being allowed in.

Ross said their agency has always adhered to health and safety precautions issued by Tennessee, Virginia, and the CDC and hopes concertgoers will be patient with their process.
