Co-produced by Teddy Morgan, Broemel also collaborated with fellow My Morning Jacket members Bo Koster and Tom Blankenship on the record with Koster co-writing a few tracks. Additional guest appearances include Neko Case, Laura Veirs, Russ Pollard, Shelly Colvin, Richard Medek, and Jordan Caress. Recorded between album and tour cycles, 4th of July is a reflective meditation. It examines the passage of time marveling at how different our lives look now from the engrained images of ourselves that we’ve held onto from the past.

In addition to 4th of July and My Morning Jacket, Broemel is currently on tour as a member of Ray LaMontagne’s band with a full solo tour coming in October. Carl Broemel solo tickets go on sale next Friday, July 8th at 10am local venue time. See a list of upcoming tour dates below.
