My Morning Jacket to Tour with Preservation Hall Jazz Band
1/29/10, 3:03 pm EST
My Morning Jacket has recruited New Orleans’ Preservation Hall Jazz Band for a short trek that begins April 20th in Birmingham, Alabama. MMJ frontman Jim James was inspired to bring the PHJB on the road after collaborating with the group on a pair of tracks for Preservation: An Album to Benefit Preservation Hall & the Preservation Hall Music Outreach Program, a compilation that teams the PHJB with vocalists like James, Tom Waits, Merle Haggard, Pete Seeger and many more. The comp is due 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 said. “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 Preservation Hall Jazz Band will open for MMJ on all dates. Check out the bands’ schedule — including sets at the Big Easy’s Jazzfest on April 24th — here:

    As a loyal fan of MMJ, I feel bad that I can't make these shows. Anybody that goes to these is in for a real treat. They gotta come back to New England soon. New Years Eve at Madison Square Garden 2008/2009 was incredible. So much fun.

    I would rather wait too...especially since funds are tight and WE ARE ALL waiting for big PJ news to drop that will pretty much determine my entire touring plans for the Spring/Summer.

    Right on that one. Their live shows are mesmerizing though. So intense. Saw them two years ago on the Boston waterfront with TS Hanna bearing down. The backdrop of a tropical storm and the lighting and effects and I was hooked. They might be the best live act around right now, sans PJ.

    I stayed in St. Augustine in 2008 when I went and saw PJ in Tampa...what an awesome city that is. Have fun! I saw there was an amphitheatre while I was there and thought that it would probably be bad ass.

    8/23/09 - Chicago, IL
    9/28/09 - Salt Lake City, UT (11 years too long!!!)

    Saw The Black Crowes at Chastain. I loved that venue, especially how it pretty much came up out of nowhere in the neighborhoods surrounding it.

    MMJ there sounds like a blast! :thumbup:
