, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, and Waxahatchee, plus local Huntsville talent such as Translee and Deqn Sue & Kelvin Wooten.
“Building the Orion may seem random to people who have never been to Huntsville before,” says Ben Lovett, co-founder and keyboardist for Mumford & Sons who also serves as CEO of London-based venue development group TVG Hospitality. “But, when my band traveled to places that a lot of people would consider ‘random,’ we found that the most beautiful people and amazing examples of humanity exist in those places.
Bassist David Hood, who at 78 is the last living member of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section , is in awe of Orion’s scope, but also aware that the music he and his colleagues created out of necessity helped pave the road to today. Hood is also warmly greeted by Friday night performer Jason Isbell, who once played in the Drive-By Truckers with Hood’s son Patterson.“You know, it’s fun to see the young guys coming up and doing it, and doing it well,” Hood tells Rolling Stone once Isbell exits the room. “I’m so proud, because I was afraid when all of us Swampers either died or retired, it was going to be all over for that Muscle Shoals sound.

Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit perform at the Orion Amphitheater in Huntsville, Alabama, on May 13, 2022.“And I’d like to say ‘I’m sorry,’ but we lived to tell about it, and we lived to do a whole lot more crazy, stupid, shit,” Hood screamed into the microphone, his voice echoing into the muggy Alabama night.
