I had been wondering what our boys would be up to after NYE and decided to send an email into Jim Koplik Northeast VP for Live Nation. Hes been the main promoter here in CT for my whole life and is sort of my Bill Graham. he has done a call radio show for years on various CT FM stations and answers fan emails quite often, an extremely nice and approachable guy.... I will paste my short conversation with him below, no real news but a great sign for fans in New England [I will add that the Chevy, formerly the Oakdale is in Wallingford CT] :
Maybe early next year. We are in contact with them and we all agree its time to bring them to The Chevy.
Jim Koplik - Chairman
Live Nation - Northeast

Hi Jim
Just wondering if you are planning to bring My Morning Jacket in to CT at any time soon. They are a great live band and I think they would be great at the Oakdale that seems to be the size of the venues they are playing. Thanks for the info!!

I saw Neil Young there last December and hope that Jacket plays there soon!
I saw Neil Young there a long time ago. It is a great venue. I used to be able to walk there when I lived in CT. They would rock that place.
