My Morning Jacket at Hayden Homes Amphitheater

Trying to pin down My Morning Jacket into a specific genre is downright impossible. From their inception, they were associated with the emo rock scene, primarily because of Jim James' background. However, when the band officially started making music together, it became clear that this was an entirely new concept. In fact, James began the band in part because he wanted to explore different sounds that he could implement with the bands that he was collaborating with at the time. This is just a small history lesson to try and explain why you can hear a song like "Golden" that features heavy Bluegrass and country influences. Then, the band can move to something like "Wordless Chorus" with some synthetic beats and even pop-like vocals. 

In short, you're going to get a little bit of everything once My Morning Jacket takes the stage. As mentioned previously, they are one of the premier performers in the world of rock and roll. You could also chalk that down to the fact that they're not afraid to explore different sounds with their music. The live version of a song might not sound exactly how you remember it on the record, but it's all part of the fun. Tuesday, August 5th at the Hayden Homes Amphitheater is certainly a day to let your hair down a bit.
