Tonight’s Headlining Band
moe.
Thirty-five years ago, a posse of University of Buffalo-based musician-friends got together to play music. Out of freewheeling sessions bursting with bold, genre-defying creativity and tongue-in-cheek humor, a 6-headed monster named moe.emerged. Decades later, moe.‘s tireless work ethic, DIY resourcefulness, infectious songwriting, and highly-engaged fanbase — the Famoe.ly — have enabled the sextet to earn a successful career. Yet, the guys have never rested on their laurels as “jam band pioneers.” They average 100 shows per year, and regularly release vital new music, including the band’s latest album, Circle of Giants (ATO), its 13th release.
moe. is a brotherhood, featuring bassist Rob Derhak, guitarist/vocalist Al Schnier, guitarist/vocalist Chuck Garvey, drummer Vinnie Amico, percussionist/vibraphonist Jim Loughlin, and keyboardist Nate Wilson. The six-piece band came up in the primordial pouch of the early jam band scene, alongside Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors, Widespread Panic, and Phish.
Lauded by American Songwriter for its “mind-bending musicality,” moe. is beloved for its sonic adventurousness, unbridled showmanship, and witty and insightful songwriting. Since releasing its foundational album, Fatboy, in 1992, moe. has issued a vast and varied series of now-classic records. Select studio album highlights include 1998’s Tin Cans & Car Tires; 2004’s Wormwood; 2007’s The Conch (which reached #1 on Billboard’s “Heatseekers” chart); and 2012’s critically-acclaimed What Happened To The La Las. The band has undertaken innumerable headline tours, played international festival sets from Bonnaroo to Japan’s famed Fuji Rock, performed on music-themed cruises, and played sold-out shows alongside the Allman Brothers Band, members of the Grateful Dead, Dave Matthews Band, and The Who, among others.
