Jason Isbell Files For Divorce From Amanda Shires
Jason Isbell has filed for divorce from bandmate Amanda Shires after nearly 11 years of marriage.
In addition to singing backup vocals and playing fiddle with Isbell, Shires has released eight solo albums as well one LP with the country supergroup the Highwomen in 2019, in which she performed alongside Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby and Maren Morris. The couple’s marital challenges were highlighted in Isbell’s 2023 documentary Running With Our Eyes Closed, in which they were seen struggling with the idea of entering marriage counseling while hunkered down at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the film Shires and Isbell — who told Variety at the time that watching the movie was “unnerving” — struggle over both personal and professional issues, with the equally headstrong artists clashing over everything from audio levels to lyrical grammar.
