Led by big-voiced singer-guitarist Jim James, My Morning Jacket has a dynamic live show that features extensive jams and interludes. As a gift to fans who might be jonesing for concerts during the current lockdown, the band is offering a free webcast of its full set from the 2016 Shaky Knees Festival.

The concert airs at 8pm ET on Friday, May 1 on the band’s YouTube channel, Facebook page and Nugs.TV. The webcast kicks off “Shaky Knees TV”, a virtual weekend of live sets from the festival playing through the weekend. The band and Shaky Knees will also include a charity component, encouraging viewers to make a donation to Crew Nation, a global relief fund supporting live music crews who have lost work during COVID-19. 

The webcast is broadcast in conjunction with the re-launch of the My Morning Jacket live archive audio program via nugs.net. The band has released 27 MMJ shows that were previously only available for purchase as a-la-carte downloads. Most of them are available in MQA 24-bit hi-res audio. In addition, two new shows are being added to the service and as downloads — the 2016 show from the Tivoli Theater in Chattanooga, TN as well as the aforementioned 2016 Shaky Knees show.

New concerts will be added to the service each month.
