moe. will kick off their 20th anniversary tour on January 22 and 23 with a two-night stand in New York City at Roseland Ballroom. The January 22 show will be a special benefit for WHY (World Hunger Year), a non-profit organization that was founded in 1975 to fight poverty in the United States and around the world. Several special guests will be announced for the January 22 show in the coming weeks. Throughout the year, moe. plans to participate in and host events to bring awareness to World Hunger issues, as well as continue working with Headcount, Freedom for Burma, and many other charities.
In addition to the New York City shows, moe. will play throughout their twenty-year home base of the Northeast, with stops in Boston, Ithaca, Rochester and Pennsylvania. They will then head to the West Coast, the Midwest and Southeast. On March 26, 27 and 28, moe. will once again host Snoe.down. The popular winter sports and music festival will take place in Killington and Rutland, VT.
Also planned is an exclusive island getaway to the Dominican Republic April 21 – 25. More news on these events will be posted in the coming days, including the all inclusive fees for the island getaway and ski packages for snoe.down.

Jimi Hendrix — “Hey Joe” > “Sunshine Of Your Love”
November 12, 2009
Here’s a bit of a historic clip. Apparently Jimi was contractually obligated to play “Hey Joe”, Jimi started in on it, thought it “jive” and then led the band through Cream’s “Sunshine Of Your Love” in homage, as the Clapton-Baker-Bruce ensemble had just called it quits.

Delaney & Bonnie & Friends — San Francisco, CA (2/22/70)
November 9, 2009
Here’s an amazing show that captures Eric Clapton joining the blue eyed soul of Delaney Bramlett, his wife and what would become the core of the Dominoes (Carl Radle, Jim Gordon, etc.). This is great stuff, folks.

Phish embarked on a three show run at The Fabulous Fox in Atlanta. Somehow I managed to get about 10 feet from the stage every night and man, did they throw down. These were the first shows the band had played since performing Quadrophenia a week and a half prior and had been completely sold out for weeks. The Fox was built in the 1920’s is one of the most beautiful places to see a show in the Deep South. Here’s a shot that my friend, Megan Case recently took from the stage:

Interview with Tom Marshall
November 5, 2009
Here’s a fantastic interview with Tom Marshall, courtesy of Jambands.com, that was a two part piece in the Festival 8 Express. Very insightful. Check it out:
Other than the fact that Phish has reunited in 2009, ending a 5-year second hiatus that saw their fan base continue to expand, there has been another welcome reunion this year. Trey Anastasio began working with his longtime writing partner, Tom Marshall once again, and together, in collaboration with the members of Phish, they have created their latest album, Joy. The Express sat down with the lyricist shortly before Festival 8 for a candid conversation about that reunion with the guitarist/singer/composer, and their work on Joy, as well as a look back at a few tracks that found their way onto Party Time, the Joy box bonus CD. As regards Joy, Marshall explains, “I see a lot of questions that you and I could clear up, or at least add to the mystery.” And so we open the door…(more…)
Umphrey’s McGee — “Sweet Sunglasses”
November 4, 2009
Combining The Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams”, MGMT’s “Electric Feel” and Corey Hart’s “Sunglasses At Night”, the band rehearse one of their Halloween mash-ups. If you’re a child of the 80’s (like me!), you’ll remember how huge two of these songs were back in the day.
