Ponderosa? That’s fun to say! Back in high school, my band wrote a four part acapella called Ponderosa after getting lost on the road and being forced to stop at a Ponderosa Steakhouse. I remember wondering why musicians, with their affinity for gratifying, lyrical words, had not already championed such an awesome name –…

News leaked yesterday that American legend Bob Dylan will team up with Wilco & My Morning Jacket for a traveling concert series titled Americanarama Festival, and this awesomeness will grace Music City on June 30th at Nashville’s Riverfront Park. Rumor has it that select dates will also include performances by the Richard Thompson Electric…

Unbeknownst to most, Jim James snuck down to 8th Avenue South on Friday night for a secret show at The Basement. We were lucky enough to be invited to one of the best shows that this guy has seen in a long, long, long (maybe ever) time. After filling up about a quarter of…

The announcement of My Morning Jacket as headliner of Soundland on October 6th has them a bit more on the radar for us than usual. So, it is fitting that they just leaked a track from the upcoming EP Outta My System: Remixez Y Friendz. The leaked track is a super vibey chillwavey version…

That being said, the lineup this year looks pretty damn stellar, so go ahead and mark…

We have talked about My Morning Jacket in the past with the release of their new record Circuital, and their awesome set at Bonnaroo this summer.…

How did I miss this last week? How can I hear about the December 14th MMJ/Band of Horses show at Madison Square Garden, but not hear about them opening their tour with a stop at Nashville’s Memorial Gymnasium?!? I’m slipping. Luckily for all of us tickets are still available. This show should have a…

Properly topped. Take a look at the cover art of the album that spawned the Bonnaroo name. Same colors and design and that hat is unmistakable. Quite an homage to Dr. John. My Morning Jacket and Arcade Fire were absolutely amazing, but I was really here to see more of the smaller bands. The…

If you head over to NPR’s website, you can stream a first listen of the new records by Cults, Death Cab for Cutie, and My Morning Jacket. We’ve already talked a bit about the upcoming release of MMJ (and, of course, their upcoming set at Bonnaroo). Well the entire album (which is awesome) is…
