My Morning Jacket with the LYO
My Morning Jacket will play a long awaited hometown show with the LYO on October 29th at the new KFC Yum! Center.  The band will continue its practice of donating $1 from each ticket with proceeds going to the LYO Scholarship Fund.


LYO members Ali Poth and Parker Staten toured the new arena with My Morning Jacket members Jim James, Patrick Hallahan, and Tom "Two-tone Tommy" Blankenship and LYO music director Jason Seber on July 14 just prior to the press conference announcing the event.
