On Friday night (July 7), My Morning Jacket took the stage at Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville, Tennessee, to a sold out crowd. The feeling in the air was nothing short of electric as they worked their way through twenty career spanning songs. At one point, frontman Jim James stopped singing to point out the full moon over head. Later, he would comment that “this is a hometown show, because several of us live here.” So there you have it, Nashville officially gets hometown status.

A major highlight of the night came early when Jim took a moment to dedicate the ultra rare “Just One Thing” to one of their techs who was in an accident “on his motorcycle. He is fine. He is fine. We’d like to give a shout out to him for a speedy recovery.” This is only the sixth time since 2009 that the Band has performed the song.

MMJ also performed a full band rendition of Carl Broemel‘s solo song “Carried Away” from 2010’s All Birds Say. Broemel was completely at ease and shredded the solo. It is not an often occurrence for My Morning Jacket to cover Carl’s solo work. In fact, the song made its MMJ debut in Nashville on April 21, 2010 at Nashville Municipal Auditorium. In seven years, they have only performed it 26 times.

Recently, the band announced the 2018 edition of their One Big Holiday festival in the Dominican Republic. Punta Cana’s Hard Rock Cafe will host the five day, four night event. This year’s festival will take place from March 2-6.
