April 10th is set to be a night of transcendent musical experience as My Morning Jacket brings their “is” tour to Austin’s Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park. This isn’t just another concert; it’s a pilgrimage into the heart of a band that continues to redefine the boundaries of rock.
“is,” their 10th studio album, arrives on March 21st, a testament to their enduring creative fire after more than three years of anticipation. Produced by the legendary Brendan O’Brien (think Springsteen, Pearl Jam), the album promises a sonic landscape as vast and varied as the band’s storied career.
We’ve already been gifted glimpses into this new chapter. “Time Waited,” the lead single, is a lush, evocative track, its accompanying Danny Clinch-directed video a poignant blend of past and present. Then, “Squid Ink” arrived, a heavy, propulsive force, showcasing the band’s raw, unbridled energy.
But “is” is more than just a collection of songs. It’s an exploration, a “presence in the now,” as frontman Jim James puts it. It’s a connection to something beyond the human experience, a journey facilitated by music’s transformative power.
And speaking of journeys, the “is” tour is a sprawling odyssey across the nation, a testament to My Morning Jacket’s enduring passion for live performance. From sold-out shows in their hometown of Louisville to festival appearances at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage, and a three-day musical vacation at One Big Holiday, this tour is a celebration of music’s power to unite and uplift.
What makes this tour unique? It’s the sheer breadth of the experience. Each show is a curated event, with special guests like Grace Cummings, Bendigo Fletcher, and even late-night campfire sets featuring Tyler Ramsey and Maggie Halfman, ensuring every night is a unique and intimate experience.
My Morning Jacket’s journey is one of constant evolution, a refusal to be confined by genre or expectation. They’ve achieved the rare feat of maintaining their legacy while still pushing creative boundaries. “is” is a testament to this, a culmination of years of exploration and a promise of even greater heights to come.
For those in the area and beyond, the Austin show is a must-see. It’s an opportunity to witness a band at the peak of their powers, to be swept away by their sonic tapestry, and to experience the “undeniable force of loving” that drives their music.
Don’t miss My Morning Jacket’s “is” tour. Let the music guide you, connect you, and transport you. This is more than just a concert; it’s a communal experience, a celebration of the power of music to transcend the ordinary.
