WILMINGTON — The Americana rockers out of Athens, Georgia, will return to the Greenfield Lake Amphitheater stage this fall.

Drive-By Truckers released its 14th studio album, “Welcome 2 Club XIII,” last April. In an interview with Port City Daily last year, frontman Patterson Hood said the stories on the album were character-driven, representative of band members or family and close friends from DBT’s early days when they went by the name Adam’s House Cat.

The album also pays homage to the “Muscle Shoals honky-tonk,” a place Patterson and founding member Mike Cooley got their start. DBT recorded the album over three days in the summer of 2021 with producer David Barbe; the album features contributions from Mike Mills (R.E.M.) and country songstress Margo Price.

Joining DBT at Greenfield Lake will be American Aquarium, a alternative country band out of Raleigh, North Carolina, who recently played Brooklyn Arts Center in the winter. AA has released 14 albums since its founding in 2006, including 2022’s “Chicamacomico.”

The concert takes place Oct. 5 and tickets go on sale Wednesday, May 3, in a Spotify presale (PW ROCKSHOW), which ends Thursday at 10 a.m. Tickets open to the general public on May 5, 10 a.m.
