Monsters Of Folk Donate To Honor the Earth On Upcoming Fall Tour

From atctower.net (07/23/09)

Monster Of Folk's Conor Oberst, M. Ward, Jim James, and Mike Mogis announce Fall Tour and partnership with Air Traffic Control to donate monies raised from ticket sales to local charities.

Monsters of Folk was born on the road five years ago when 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 (to be released Sept. 22nd), the illustrious quartet will reconvene for a Fall tour. The band will be donating $1 from every ticket sold on the tour to local non-profits.
