On May 22, My Morning Jacket released the surreal music video for their song “Everyday Magic.” This music video was creative, colorful, and full of funky experimental edits. The visualizer reminded me of the video for Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel, which was one of my favorite music videos growing up. It’s directed by Amanda Kramer and beautifully complements the emotion of the writing with its whimsy. “The song, ‘Everyday Magic,’ came from meeting someone who taught me to see the magic in the simple things we often take for granted,” says My Morning Jacket’s vocalist/guitarist Jim James. You can watch the video for “Everyday Magic” below!
My Morning Jacket formed in 1998 in Louisville, KY, and on March 21, released their tenth studio album and first full-length collection in over three years, is. They’re a five-piece band featuring vocalist/guitarist Jim James, bassist Tom Blankenship, guitarist Carl Broemel, drummer Patrick Hallahan, and keyboardist Bo Koster. This new album expands the limits of their sound, as they utilize bright instrumentals and a poppy indie rock sound.
My Morning Jacket recently wrapped up the first leg of their “MY MORNING JACKET ‘is’ ON TOUR,” and made a memorable return to their hometown, Louisville, KY, with “Come Home Again: A Celebration of Louisville.” This sold-out homecoming celebration featured the band playing 105 songs with no repeats over the course of five nights, including fan favorites from their critically acclaimed album is, which is available now via ATO Records. Mike Sheehy, president and founding member of the Greater Louisville Pride Foundation, said, “We are thrilled to officially recognize this great Louisville band with this long overdue honor. Recognized with the Governor’s Award in 2014, the band is known around the globe and have remained steadfast ambassadors for Louisville and the state of Kentucky.”
My Morning Jacket performed three unique headline shows at the 2025 edition of “My Morning Jacket’s One Big Holiday,” a three-night music vacation at Miramar Beach, Florida’s, Seascape Resort. This event featured a number of memorable collaborations, including versions of Cymande’s “Bra” performed with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and Neil Young’s “Like A Hurricane” with S.G. Goodman on lead vocals. Earlier in May, My Morning Jacket closed out the 2025 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival with a performance hailed by Relix for its “undeterred energy.” During the set, the band played essential tracks that cover their almost three-decade-long career and honored New Orleans’ treasured musical heritage with first-ever renderings of Fats Domino’s “Walking To New Orleans.”
