Shortly after completing their recent tour with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Louisville’s My Morning Jacket will be taking their celebrated, exhilarating live show back on the road this August. Jim James, Tom Blankenship, Carl Broemel, Bo Koster, and Patrick Hallahan will come together in San Diego on August 11th to kick start another series of their special performances that no other band can replicate.
Sub Pop’s Avi Buffalo will be supporting the group for the San Diego date as well as their LA show at The Greek Theater. The run will also include a stop at Denver’s Mile High Festival, and MMJ will be supporting Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers on several dates. The band is both thrilled and humbled to have been asked to open for the legend.
For all of the Jacket’s headlining dates, the guys will be donating $1 from each ticket to a local charity. See below for the full list of organizations along with links to their websites for more information.
