My Morning Jacket tries NYE on for size
Now on sale
My Morning Jacket’s live prowess precedes the Louisville, Ky., act, and deservedly so. Less a jam band and more a hard-charging, delightfully shapeshifting indieroots group, the Jim James-led outfit will headline the FirstBank
Center for what promises to be a lively trio of New Year’s Eve performances. Tickets for the Dec. 29-31 all-ages dates in Broomfield are on sale at 10 a.m. Aug. 11. Openers include The Revolution
(Dec. 29), Tune-Yards (Dec. 30) and Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires (Dec. 31). Tickets are $51 for Dec. 29-30 and $76 for Dec. 31, or $168 for all three days (altitudetickets.com)
Not to be outdone, jam band Umphrey’s McGee will also play a trio of New Year’s Eve shows Dec. 29-31 at the Fillmore Auditorium. Tickets for Dec. 29-30 are $39.50-$45, while Dec. 31 is $79.50-$90. Three-day passes are $149.50. All shows, which are 16-and-up, are on sale at 10 a.m. Aug. 11. (Ticketmaster)

“An Intimate Evening With Yanni” bills itself as “pure Yanni,” meaning the long-maned composer will be performing his work only on an acoustic piano, ready to answer audience questions between songs. Tickets for the Nov. 9 concert at Buell Theatre are on sale at 10 a.m. Aug. 11. ($39.50-$99.50, axs.com)
Dayton, Ohio, indie rock legends Guided by Voices are returning about a year after their last Denver visit — a lengthy set at Summit Music Hall — following the release of their new album, “How Do You Spell Heaven” (lead singer Robert Pollard’s 101st release overall).
