Monsters of Folk brings together four unique brands of ingenuity in the form of My Morning Jacket’s Jim James, singer/songwriter M. Ward, and Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis. This collaboration of creativity will begin an inaugural tour in the fall, keeping fans on their feet with ever-changing roles and instruments throughout each performance.
In a partnership with Air Traffic Control, Monsters of Folk will donate $1 from each ticket sold to local non-profit organizations.
Air Traffic Control, an organization that claims they “exist to support and provide musicians & managers who want to be engaged in social change the resources and backing they need to make change,” has played a role in promoting awareness for the plight of New Orleans musicians after Katrina and to encourage “green” touring.
“On a daily basis, we see how hard organizations like these work to make our communities, country and world a better place.” said Erin Potts, the organization’s executive director. “In a time when economic resources are harder to come by and organizations are overwhelmed by urgency and need, the Monsters of Folk tour’s charitable activities are a significant way to energize and support the tireless and often overlooked work that these organizers are doing.”
Pre-sale tickets go on sale July 27 for European dates and July 28 for US and Canada dates. Ticket sales open to the public on July 31.
