Jim Lauderdale w/ guests

Jim Lauderdale plays Tractor Tavern on Sunday, November 22, 2026. He's a songwriter and singer who's spent decades working across the lines of country, bluegrass, and Americana, and this is a headlining date in Seattle.

Lauderdale is one of those names that comes up whenever you're talking about the Americana movement. He's written for a long list of other artists and put out a steady stream of his own records, so there's plenty to pull from for a single set. The billing for this one is "Jim Lauderdale w/ guests," which means he'll be sharing the stage with other musicians rather than playing a solo acoustic set. It's a good thing to keep in mind if you're expecting a quiet night—it'll be a full band on stage.

If you've followed him for a while, you know his work tends to lean on the country and bluegrass side of things, and that's what he's bringing to the Tavern. He's spent as much time in the studio as he has on the road, and he's known for being a songwriter first, so the songs usually take center stage over any flash. Between the guests and the band, it should be a full sound for a Sunday night.

The show starts at 6 PM, so it's an early one—you'll be out and home well before midnight. It's a Sunday evening at Tractor Tavern, and the bill is Jim Lauderdale with guests.
