New Orleans-based Preservation Hall Jazz Band will provide opening support for the outing.
MMJ frontman Jim James collaborated with the jazz outfit last year at New Orleans' legendary Preservation Hall, recording two tracks for the band's forthcoming album, "Preservation: An Album to Benefit Preservation Hall & The Preservation Hall Music Outreach Program." The collection hits shelves Feb. 12.
"When I got the invitation to go to the legendary Preservation Hall--where so much of the music we now know and love on this earth found its early roots--I did not waste a minute," James explained in a press release. "Getting to sing while the guys played with such glorious bursts of sound--all live in that holy room with the ghosts and garbage trucks crankin' along--was an experience I'll never forget."
Earlier this month, My Morning Jacket unveiled "Live at the Palms," a digital EP available via iTunes. The short set features the previously unreleased "Dear Wife" and the rarely performed "Tonight I Want to Celebrate With You," which originally appeared on the group's 1999 debut, "The Tennessee Fire."
"Evil Urges," MMJ's most recent full-length studio release, surfaced in 2008 and peaked at No. 9 on The Billboard 200.
