moe. will take the stage at the Beacon Theatre on Friday, October 8.
moe. is the preeminent progressive rock band on the music scene today. In a remarkable career that's touched upon three decades and produced 17 albums, the quintet of Al Schnier and Chuck Gar vey on guitars and vocals, Rob Derhak on bass and vocals, Jim Loughlin on percussion and vibes, and Vinnie Amico on drums, continues to push the standard for performance art.
This year marks the twentieth anniversary of moe.'s frontline of Rob Derhak, Chuck Garvey, and Al Schnier, who continue to perform together with the addition of Vinnie Amico and Jim Loughlin. Even with their twentieth anniversary in sight, there is little inclination towards nostalgic reflection or self-congratulation within the walls of moe. In honor of their anniversary, the band has compiled Smash Hits Vol. 1, a sort of Young Person's Guide to moe, featuring band and fan favorites - some recast in new recordings which showcase the band's ongoing evolution.
