Monsters of Folk

Monsters of Folk was born on the road five years ago when Yim Yames (My Morning Jacket's Jim James), Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis, and singer/songwriter M. Ward toured together and regularly sat in on each other's sets. Now armed with the eclectic and consistently striking songs that make up their debut album, the illustrious quartet will take the stage at the Beacon Theatre on November 8. The four members will be switching instruments and trading roles throughout each show, maintaining the freewheeling and highly collaborative spirit of their work together thus far.
