“Curating spontaneously is best achieved by communication within a community, because otherwise, curating in a vacuum can lead one to spontaneously combust,” wrote My Morning Jacket on their website. For the Spontaneous Curation Series this tour, members of the band’s fan club, Roll Call, pick the opening tune each night, and audience members at large will “curate” the encore—scope directions tweeted by @MyMorningJacket—from the band’s entire catalogue of six studio albums and rarities. While the Kentucky five-piece hasn’t written rock tunes to add to their canon since the 2011 release Circuital, they’ve made music for the self-hypnosis series—“songs designed to help the body, mind and soul to reprogram itself to be in its highest functioning order,” said frontman Jim James. Local singer-songwriter and Northplatte Records co-founder Joshua James provides support—the only local to play the series this season.
