My Morning Jacket’s 10th studio album and first full-length new collection in more than three years, is, arrives via ATO Records on Friday, March 21. Produced by 3x GRAMMY® Award-winner Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam), the album is heralded by the ravishing lead single, “Time Waited,” available everywhere now. An official music video, directed by famed photographer/filmmaker Danny Clinch and featuring new performance footage interspersed with archival photos from throughout the band’s history, is streaming now on YouTube.
For more than 25 years, My Morning Jacket have achieved an incredibly rare feat in the world of rock ‘n’ roll – upholding a long-established cultural legacy while sustaining all the curiosity and creative hunger of their very earliest days. In a monumental step for the Louisville, KY-bred five-piece – vocalist/guitarist Jim James, bassist Tom Blankenship, guitarist Carl Broemel, drummer Patrick Hallahan, keyboardist Bo Koster – is once again expands the limits of their sound and elevates their artistry to unprecedented heights. The result is perhaps the most masterfully realized work yet from a band fully committed to their belief in music as a conduit for revelation of all kinds.
“I like how the word “is” indicates a sense of presence in the now – there’s no logic or rationale behind this record; it just is,” says James. “All these songs came into existence out of an attempt to connect with something beyond the human experiment, which for me is the whole purpose of music – that connection with something larger than us, yet something we are all equally a part of.”
is – which arrives as My Morning Jacket celebrates the 20th anniversary of their 2005’s landmark Z, a lavishly acclaimed collection named by Rolling Stone among “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time” – represents another milestone in the band’s ever-evolving body of work, as well as an opportunity to breathe new energy into their historically stunning and hard-driving live performances. James points to the “undeniable force of loving” as the most essential factor in the band’s longevity and unending enchantment with the process of musical creation.

When Trevor Powers brought his Youth Lagoon project to Walker’s Point for a Studio Milwaukee Session in July of 2023, there was good cause to be excited. Little did we know that shortly after his visit, Powers would embark on a journey that brings him back to Milwaukee on May 8 for a show at the Vivarium.
In the fall of 2023, he stumbled on a shoebox packed with home videos while scouring his parents’ basement for a decades-old harmonica that was once his grandmother’s. “When I took the tapes home and popped in the first one, it was my brother Bobby and I at the state fair. I was 4 years old, choking on a corn dog,” he recounted, laughing. “If anything’s a summary of life, that is.”
Powers’ recollection came as part of an announcement for new album Rarely Do I Dream — a project with the vibes of a childhood memoir and the hopes of more personal growth to come. “The more I rewind the tapes of my life, the more I can hear the voice of my soul,” he said in the release. “This isn’t nostalgia. Life’s much more messy than that. It’s a dedication to all the parts of who I was, who I am, and who I’m going to be.”
