If I wasn’t going to be in Nashville for New Year’s I’d be getting lucky with these Kentucky’s. Time Out NY says: My Morning Jacket might not play sophisticated rock, but they’re easily one of the most vigorous and magical bands performing today. To mark the drama of this gig (New Year’s at MSG? Is there any greater honor for a band?), the Jacket asks that you show them some high style with black-tie attire. The dress-up thing might seem an odd match for a quasi jam band, but then again, when it comes to partying, My Morning Jacket always goes all the way.

When: Dec 31 9pm @ Madison Square Garden (tickets)
