By Allie Mack After attending Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Coachella and several iterations of Lollapalooza and Pitchfork, it is Louisville’s Forecastle that has been my most enjoyable total festival experience, to date. Forecastle began in 2002 as a free summer festival built to celebrate and support Louisville’s music community. For its tenth anniversary, Forecastle’s production team joined forces with AC Entertainment – which produces Bonnaroo and Moogfest – to create a higher-profile experience curated by Louisville legend, My Morning Jacket. In its second year [...]

Photo courtesy of Matt Jordan (youaintnopicasso.com) It was a busy festival crazy weekend here in the Midwest. Cincinnati had the first ever Bunbury Festival, Chicago had Pitchfork and in Louisville Kentucky, the Forecastle Festival returned to the Louisville Waterfront. As a veteran of several Forecastle's in previous years, I was excited to see what the 're-launch' of the festival would entail. When I showed up on Friday, the weather was sticky but pleasant compared to the previous weekends triple digit temperatures. The Waterfront was set up nicely and one thing I noticed [...]

James and his band were headlining that day's action at the Forecastle Festival in their hometown of Louisville and in addition to MMJ's massive set in the evening, they also played an impromptu acoustic set earlier in the day. As if that wasn't enough, James joined friends the Preservation Hall Jazz Band for five songs aboard the Belle of Louisville steamboat during a late-night afterparty. [...]

In the world of sports, the tag "clutch" is attached to athletes who have a track record of success when the game in on the line and the pressure's on. If any of our favorite bands deserve this "clutch" tag, it's My Morning Jacket . A perfect example can be found last night when the Louisville, Kentucky natives treated a massive crowd in their hometown to a perfectly balanced set filled with guest spots, fan favorites and rarely-played covers at the Forecastle Festival . MMJ not only headlined the second day of Forecastle, which is celebrating its 10th [...]
