In the twenty-four years since eclectic improv-rock band Umphrey’s McGee formed, their sound has been an amalgamation of genres, moods, and tempos, effortlessly flowing from one feeling to the next throughout an album or concert—or sometimes within a singular song. But with time and repetition comes wisdom and maturity, both personally and musically, and in the case of the band’s new album Asking For A Friend, Umphrey’s McGee entered the recording studio with something to say and a wise, measured way to say it.

moe. continued its tradition of epic New Year’s Eve shows with a performance at the Fillmore Philadelphia on December 31st. Opening the show with “Spaz Medicine,” the band welcomed guitarist Chuck Garvey onto the stage for “meat.” during the first set, marking his first appearance with the band since suffering a stroke in November 2021, shortly after their last performance at the Fillmore Philadelphia.

moe. has announced 14-additional tour dates for winter 2023, extending their previously announced east coast tour through March. Centered around the southeast, with a number of dates in Florida, the tour will wrap with a 2-night run at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta on March 23-24. A special artist pre-sale will begin tomorrow, Wednesday, December 14th at 12pm ET/9amPT - for details click here.

On the heels of the announcement that guitarist Chuck Garvey will be sitting-in as a “special guest” for their NYE performance, moe. has announced a short run of tour dates for early 2023, which will include select performances up and down the east coast.

At last night’s sold-out performance at The Fox Theatre in Boulder, moe.’s Al Schnier nearly brought the house down with the news that guitarist Chuck Garvey, who suffered a stroke last November, would sit-in as a “special guest” for a portion of the band’s NYE performance at the Fillmore Philadelphia for the first time in over a year. The announcement came exactly one year to the day since Garvey suffered his stroke, and his return appearance is also especially significant, since the Fillmore Philadelphia was the last venue he performed at on Halloween 2022.

This National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, moe. is once again supporting The American Cancer Society (ACS) in its “Real Men Wear Pink” campaign, designed to engage more male community leaders and influencers in the Society’s mission to eliminate breast cancer.

Pulling into Summer Camp for my first time I couldn’t help but feel a bit apprehensive. Everything I’ve read or seen on the web says “It’s an amazing fest… as long as it doesn’t rain“ Yet, here I was, pulling up to the gate on Friday morning after 3 solid days of precipitation. Stepping out of my jeep into the parking lot I immediately sunk into the mud up to my ankles and thought to myself “Welp, I guess it’s time to get dirty!”
