As they continue their fall tour across the US, moe. has announced that they will ring in the New Year with a special two-night run at the renowned Kodak Center in Rochester. With deep roots in Buffalo and an enduring connection to Rochester, these special performances are not just another set of gigs — they’re a testament to the band’s resilience, especially in light of guitarist Chuck Garvey’s recent health challenges and triumphant return to the road.
The announcement of moe.’s NYE run comes as the band, along with several other musical acts and venues, lends strong support to The American Cancer Society (ACS) through its inaugural “Rock The Pink” campaign. This initiative aims to harness the influence of the music community to combat breast cancer. To date, the band has already raised more than $4,500, and efforts are ongoing.
Having collaborated with the ACS’s breast cancer initiatives for the past two years, this year moe. has combined efforts with Umphrey’s McGee, Goose, the Disco Biscuits, Andy Frasco & the U.N., Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Kitchen Dwellers, and Doom Flamingo, as well as venues like The Capitol Theatre and Garcia’s. Each participant is contributing in their own unique way, from selling limited-edition merchandise to flaunting pink instruments on stage and wearing pink-themed outfits, all to generate funds and awareness. All proceeds go directly to ACS, the nation’s premier nonprofit for cancer research funding. For more information and various donation options, fans and supporters can visit https://moe.org.
As moe. progresses through their fall tour, they are set to perform in a series of iconic venues across the U.S. The upcoming schedule features a two-night engagement at Denver’s Ogden Theatre on Oct. 20 and 21, a series at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, N.Y. on Dec. 8 and 9, culminating in their grand year-end celebration at the Kodak Center in Rochester Dec. 30-31. With reviews highlighting Chuck’s inspiring recovery and Nate Wilson joining on keys, moe.’s return to the road has been nothing short of phenomenal.
In addition to their live performances, moe. recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of Tin Cans and Car Tires with a special 2x Sky Blue vinyl reissue. This collector’s item features not just the original album tracks, but also live renditions of beloved songs including “Stranger Than Fiction,” “Nebraska” and “Letter Home.” This album holds an indelible place in the legacy of their music and the hearts of their fan community. The reissue, along with exclusive merchandise, is available now at https://moe.org.
moe. is a one-of-a-kind band that has never been easily categorized. Their sonic adventurousness and tongue-in-cheek humor are distinctly and undeniably their own. Praised by American Songwriter for their “mind-bending musicality,” moe. is treasured for their mesmerizing musical synergy, unfettered showmanship, and smart, resonant songcraft.
