My Morning Jacket will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their acclaimed 2005 fourth studio album, Z, with several special shows that will see them performing the landmark collection in its entirety.

“October 4th is the 20th anniversary of our album Z. It’s pretty wild to think about that,” says My Morning Jacket’s Jim James. “To celebrate two decades of it being out in the ether, we’re excited to be turning five of our shows into special Z anniversary shows, where we’ll play that album (and some other songs, don’t worry) front to back.”
Z proved an immediate milestone for My Morning Jacket upon its October 2005 release, earning worldwide critical applause for its ambitious fusion of sonic approaches, musical styles, and expressive song craft. This year has seen My Morning Jacket continuing on its ever-evolving creative journey with their tenth studio album and first full-length new collection in more than three years, is, available everywhere now via ATO Records. Produced by three-time Grammy Award-winner Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam), the album is sees the Louisville, Kentucky-bred five-piece – vocalist/guitarist Jim James, bassist Tom Blankenship, guitarist Carl Broemel, drummer Patrick Hallahan, keyboardist Bo Koster – once again expanding the limits of their sound and elevating their artistry to unprecedented heights. Songs like the ravishing lead single, “Time Waited,” the larger-than-life anthem “Half A Lifetime” and the psychedelically propulsive “Squid Ink” represent some of the most masterfully realized work yet from a band fully committed to their belief in music as a conduit for revelation of all kinds.
