Since their sold out Madison
Square show to end off 2011, they've played a triumphant performance at the Independent
Spirit Awards in February and shared the stage with Preservation Hall Jazz Band commemorating their 50th Anniversary at Carnegie Hall. Jim
James also completed a tour with New Multitudes (Jay Farrar, Will Johnson andAnders Parker) in promotion of their album honoring Woody Guthrie. Additionally, the band has been busy curating the Forecastle Festival for the festival's 10th Anniversary, where they will conjointly be headlining the event along with
Wilco and Bassnectar.
The band are showing no signs of slowing down in the months surrounding their tour.
My Morning Jacket will be contributing to John Fogerty's new album, Wrote a Song for Everyone, which will be released this fall. In the month of June, they will complete a European tour making stops in Spain, The Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Belgium and the United Kingdom. The band will also be headlining this year's Beale Street
Music Festival in Memphis, Tennessee and Newport, Rhode Island's Newport Folk Festival, as well as performing at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival next month.
Commencing their tour in Denver, Colorado at Red Rocks on August 3rd and 4th,
My Morning Jacket will be recording both performances and offering them as complimentary downloads to all ticket holders for those shows. Both
My Morning Jacket and
Band Of Horses are enthusiastic of hitting the road for the month long tour. "YES! We're touring with the incredible My Morning Jacket!" says lead singer Ben Bridwell. "So psyched to hit the road with our buddies and (hopefully) warm you all up for the greatest band going."
