A Tour Is Imminent!

[Sassbox]

Mayhap they feel it's no use addressing the inevitable explosion!

OMG - please play somewhere else in FL rather than St. Aug. on the 27th.  Play there too, but I have a fucking deferred compensation final the next morning.  St. Aug. would be the easiest place to go to from Gainesville.  ::Sigh::  Looks like I will be traveling a bit farther to see the boys.  Sorry for the griping.  I just jumped through the roof when I saw the link for the April 27th show, then got kicked in the nuts when I check my exam schedule.

i can barely stand it anymore...i really need to hear something....the St Auggie link that I found gave me a taste...but now I need the whole meal...i need it...i need it...i need it :D

[Sassbox]

Ugh...looks like that 3 pm announcement has nothing to do with the tour.

I'm sorry, but I think we'll see something soon.

[Haldon]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo  :'(

[manicfanatic]

 :( Oh well, I am sure we will all know soon enough!!

Yeah, it would seem a little unusual to me to announce tour dates on a Friday...usually good news is scheduled earlier in the week   ;)  Friday announcements are usually reserved for the stuff they want you to forget about over the weekend   ;D

It's been almost a full year, but the wait is finally over.  My Morning Jacket are ready to bring their electrifying live show back on the road.  The guys will make their way around the Southeastern United States this Spring, including a performance at  this year's Jazzfest in New Orleans.  MMJ are also excited to both try something new with their choice for an opening act, and bring some of the spirit of NOLA along with them.  The band is honored that the historic Preservation Hall Jazz Band will be supporting them on the run.

The connection with the PHJB originated in the Spring of 2009 when MMJ frontman Jim James was invited to sing with them at their home turf, New Orleans' legendary Preservation Hall.  James recorded two songs with the band: "St. James Infirmary" and "Louisiana Fairytale."  The tracks will appear on the bands forthcoming album, PRESERVATION: An Album To Benefit Preservation Hall & The Preservation Hall Music Outreach Program, out February 16th.

"When I got the invitation to go to the legendary Preservation Hall – where SO much of the music we now know and love on this earth found its early roots – I did not waste a minute,"  James reminisces.  "Getting to sing while the guys played with such glorious bursts of sound – all live in that holy room with the ghosts and garbage trucks crankin' along – was an experience I'll never forget."

The PHJB's leader Ben Jaffe shares his memory of playing with James: "I couldn't have imagined Jim fitting in any better with the guys at Preservation Hall.  Creating music is not a science.  There is no tried and true formula.  There is an unspoken bond amongst musicians.  One that exists in the notes we choose.  Jim's like our long lost cousin coming home for the first time."
