The My Morning Jacket frontman kicked off a tour behind his second solo album Eternally Even at Royale here in Boston on Tuesday and it may have just been the perfect mix of cathartic escapism we all needed. Fellow Louisville, KY cosmic rockers Twin Limb opened the night, then played roles in James’ touring band along with Floating Action‘s Seth Kauffman. Check out some of our photos and the setlist which in the wake of his recent death featured two Leonard Cohen covers, as well as a Velvet Underground cover, and a few gems from James’ Monsters of Folk and New Basement Tapes supergroups.
