My Morning Jacket & Forecastle Fest
Summer 2008 is lining up to be a great one for music in Louisville. First, favorite sons My Morning Jacket will be releasing their new album, Evil Urges, on June 10. MMJ will be touring in support of the new album and they've planned a massive 3 hour long show on August 16 on Louisville's Waterfront. The show will span the band's entire catalog. MMJ front man Jim James says "We haven't played Louisville in so long that we wanted to do a long
show, really give people a lot of bang for their bucks."
Between the release of the new My Morning Jacket album and the August show Forecastle Festival will provide all the music, art and activism you could possible need to get you through the long, hot days of summer. Forecastle Festival is July 25-27 on Louisville's Waterfront and the lineup is far too grand for me to list everyone playing so I'll just list a few highlights:
Method Man
Ekoostik Hookah
Tortoise
Dr. Dog
Cabin
Ferdinand Fox
D.W. Box and One Long Song
Unwed Sailor
