Portchester Openers Rumors

Or they could change it to "an evening with" and not have any openers.....and just play for three hours.  That wouldn't be bad at all.

YES

Fully support this.

Works for me! 

They can rest up Sunday, and be raring to go for NYE on Monday.

I'm hoping there are no openers, but instead special guests doing some covers...;)

You're correct! I do support this!

Well, then, I fully support Fully in supporting the manonthemoon (nice harvest moon, BTW) supporting Penny (my 2 cents).

I love all the suport.

It seems like the band takes the fans 2 cents to heart so maybe they'll get behind this idea.  Changing back to the old Forum and spontaneous curation sets are indications that they're paying attention.  They care about the fans, and clearly we care about them and their music.  Can't wait for these three nights.

Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings or Charles Bradley and the Menahan Street Band.

[Northern Neighbour]

Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings or Charles Bradley and the Menahan Street Band.

Those two bands would be outstanding.

Screw the evening with stuff.  I love openers and I'm sure whatever they pick will be great.

good call on charles bradley. i feel like that is a safe bet. from brooklyn and they were at forecastle.

[oistheone]

I'd love me some Charles Bradley. Not saying anyone could upstage the Jacket, but I don't know if I'd want to go on after him -- no matter who I was. Unfortunately, the Screamin Eagle of Soul does have dates in Chicago on December 30th and 31st, so while entirely possible, it may be a little unlikely.

SIDE NOTE --  if this MMJ New Years blowout didn't go down, I can assure you I'd be ringing in the New Year in as funky a fashion as possible with Charles Bradley and the Daptone gang in Chicago.

WOW! What a great NYE show!

I would be happy with Dr. Dog opening all 3 nights. Or if ya'll saw the Fruit Bats set at Forecastle, I think you would agree, they would be a killer opener(P.S.- MMJ watched the Fruit bats whole set side-stage  at forecastle). And not to state the obvious, but how bout Ravenna Colt opening one night, and then helping close. RUN THRU>PHONE!!!  And the Eryka Badu guest appearance would be amazing, but that sounds like more of a New Years thing....

Cheers, See Ya'll There

[Penny Lane]

i LOVE the Fruit Bats and loved their set at Forecastle, too!

would love to see them or Calexico!

Hey guys and gals, take a look at this little quote here from Seth Kauffman of Floating Action:

I think we might do a couple dates with My Morning Jacket around Christmas.

Full interview here.

Squeee!

Thanks Sara   This makes perfect sense besides the fact that Kaufman is on his label.  You just got the sense that it was more of an up and comer instead of an established act.  Since I missed their set at Forecastle, this has me stoked.  I was hoping for three different openers but this gives you the idea that Floating Action will open maybe all three nights?

Damn.   As if I didn't want to go bad enought already.
