We are so happy to share the stage with these fine folks for a run full of peace, love, music, and fun!”

ABOUT MY MORNING JACKET:
Hailed by The New York Times as “the kings of expand-your-mind, religious-experience rock,” My Morning Jacket has undergone seismic transformations and restless explorations to grow from southern misfits to one of the most acclaimed and beloved bands of their generation. The band has released nine studio albums thus far, with 2008’s Evil Urges, 2011’s Circuital, and 2015’s The Waterfall receiving three consecutive GRAMMY® Award nominations for “Best Alternative Album.” 2020’s The Waterfall II made history with the hit single, “Feel You,” which reached #1 at Triple A radio outlets nationwide and on Billboard’s “Adult Alternative Songs” chart – My Morning Jacket’s first-ever #1 on a Billboard songs chart. Along the way, My Morning Jacket earned a reputation as a dynamic, life-altering live experience, building a devout worldwide fanbase through sold-out headline tours and top-billed festival sets. The band’s most recent release, 2021’s My Morning Jacket, saw them fusing their singular songcraft with the hypnotic intensity of their legendary live show more fully than ever before.

ABOUT NATHANIEL RATELIFF & THE NIGHT SWEATS:
Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats are one of the most recognizable forces in contemporary rock ’n’ roll. Born from Denver rock clubs, the band now boasts platinum and gold-certified records within their catalog of three studio LPs, two EPs, and a live album. As described by Rolling Stone, “Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats make a damn good argument for why folk-soul is so important.”
Since their 2015 self-titled debut the band has established a reputation as the rare generational band who balances ecstatic live shows with engrossing and widely acclaimed rich records. NPR Music exhorts, “Rateliff isn’t simply resurrecting the ghost of R&B past like some garden-variety neo-soul necromancer: He’s out to shake the sheets, sermonize and get downright elemental.”
Their iconic live performances are wide ranging and include revving up stadium crowds for The Rolling Stones to sold out arenas to appearing on Saturday Night Live and NPR’s Tiny Desk. As the LA Times raves, “The soul-R&B-rock collective…ranks as one of the most thrilling arrivals of recent years, its reputation stoked considerably by the group’s incendiary live shows.” Rateliff has seen widespread acclaim from critics and musicians alike, as Robert Plant recently named Rateliff a leader of the next generation of greats. “He is one of these guys that will just carry the torch. Beautiful songwriting, beautiful singing, great delivery and he is a magnificent guy to go with it.”
