SUMMARY:My Morning Jacket
DESCRIPTION:SATURDAY\, AUGUST 15\, 2026 | BUY TICKETS\nMy Morning Jacket’s 10th studio album and first full-length collection in more than three years arrived via ATO Records on Friday\, March 21. Produced by three-time GRAMMY Award winner Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen\, Pearl Jam)\, the album is heralded by the ravishing lead single “Time Waited\,” available everywhere now. An official music video\, directed by famed photographer and filmmaker Danny Clinch and featuring new performance footage interspersed with archival photos spanning the band’s history\, is now streaming on YouTube. \nFor more than 25 years\, My Morning Jacket has achieved an incredibly rare feat in the world of rock ‘n’ roll\, upholding a long-established cultural legacy while sustaining all the curiosity and creative hunger of their very earliest days. In a monumental step for the Louisville\, Kentucky-bred five-piece\, vocalist and guitarist Jim James\, bassist Tom Blankenship\, guitarist Carl Broemel\, drummer Patrick Hallahan\, and keyboardist Bo Koster once again expand the limits of their sound and elevate their artistry to unprecedented heights. The result is perhaps the most masterfully realized work yet from a band fully committed to their belief in music as a conduit for revelation of all kinds. \n“I like how the word ‘is’ indicates a sense of presence in the now. There’s no logic or rationale behind this record; it just is\,” says James. “All these songs came into existence out of an attempt to connect with something beyond the human experiment\, which for me is the whole purpose of music\, that connection with something larger than us\, yet something we are all equally a part of.” \nIs arrives as My Morning Jacket celebrates the 20th anniversary of their 2005 landmark Z\, a lavishly acclaimed collection named by Rolling Stone among “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time\,” and represents another milestone in the band’s ever-evolving body of work\, as well as an opportunity to breathe new energy into their historically stunning and hard-driving live performances. James points to the “undeniable force of loving” as the most essential factor in the band’s longevity and unending enchantment with the process of musical creation. \nmymorningjacket.com \nFacebook | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube
