MY MORNING JACKET SATURDAY 8-25 @ RALEIGH DOWNTOWN AMPHITHEATER

The success of  Kentucky born rock outfit  My Morning Jacket can be measured by it's die hard fans, the quality of their scorching sound and the ability to stay out just outside the obnoxious spotlight of popular music in America.  Southern to the core, MMJ carries with them a hellishly engaging stage presence with a noise steeped in psychedelic rock. The grace and beauty of steel guitar with front man Jim James' spellbinding vocals finds an unexpected but perfect partner with the headbanging raucousness within the MMJ recipe.  It has taken me years to settle down and actually listen to most of their albums and I now am an admitted "huge fan."  So, thanks to all those who pushed them on me for so long. 

Always evolving, My Morning Jacket will play to an intimate audience at The Raleigh Downtown Amphitheater this Saturday Night with another of the greatest bands to form after the turn of the century; Band of Horses.
