Though they are slated to appear at a number of other festivals this year—including recently announced events like Forecastle and Beale Street—MMJ should turn in a unique performance at Newport Folk.
“Having been fortunate enough to play Newport Folk a number of times by myself, and with a number of different artists and friends, I’m now super excited to have the opportunity to play with my oldest pals in My Morning Jacket!” said Jim James, who is also confirmed to take the Newport stage with New Multitudes.“This is a wonderful occasion for us to play a unique set in the spirit of the festival, and create some new memories together alongside our friends in Newport.”
