My Morning Jacket announce tour, Williamsburg Park show w/ Shabazz Palaces (dates)

My Morning Jacket at MSG (more by Chris La Putt)
My Morning Jacket

My Morning Jacket are hitting the road for a set of North American dates, with a rotating cast of characters providing support at each date including Band of Horses, Trombone Shorty, Trampled by Turtles, and Shabazz Palaces (who recently played two NYC shows and The Mohawk). Most of those dates will also see the band giving back to a local charity, including the August 19th show at Williamsburg Park with Shabazz Palaces. Tickets go on sale at noon on Friday (5/4) (and will be available at a few places if they don’t sell right out).

Williamsburg Park is the new venue replacing Williamsburg Waterfront.

Band of Horses opened for My Morning Jacket last year at MSG. If you were there, or even if you weren’t, you might remember Ben Bridwell of BoH played live with MMJ on track “Wonderful (The Way I Feel)” . Well, they recorded that performance and are giving the song away as a free MP3 for a limited time at the My Morning Jacket Facebook page.

All dates are listed below…
