moe. in Seattle

moe. is an American rock band formed in Buffalo in 1989. Its music combines guitar-driven rock, psychedelia and extended improvisation, and its catalog includes “Rebubula,” “Plane Crash” and “Nebraska,” as well as the albums No Doy, Tin Cans and Car Tires and Wormwood. In 2000, moe. launched moe.down, a recurring festival staged for many editions at Snow Ridge in Turin, New York. The band also became closely associated with Summer Camp Music Festival at Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, Illinois, where it performed repeatedly with Umphrey’s McGee. The concert lineup centers on guitarists Al Schnier and Chuck Garvey, bassist and vocalist Rob Derhak, drummer Vinnie Amico and percussionist Jim Loughlin. Sets draw on a rotating repertoire, and songs such as “Rebubula” can open into extended group improvisation. Colorado concerts have taken moe. to Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, while its theatre dates have included the Beacon Theatre in New York City.
