Thirty-five years ago, a posse of University of Buffalo-based musician-friends got together to play music. Out of freewheeling sessions bursting with bold, genre-defying creativity and tongue-in-cheek humor, a 6-headed monster named moe. emerged.
Decades later, moe.’s tireless work ethic, DIY resourcefulness, infectious songwriting, and highly-engaged fanbase—the Famoe.ly—have enabled the sextet to earn a successful career. Yet, the guys have never rested on their laurels as “jam band pioneers.”
moe. is a brotherhood, featuring Derhak, Schnier, guitarist/vocalist Chuck Garvey, drummer Vinnie Amico, percussionist/vibraphonist Jim Loughlin, and keyboardist Nate Wilson. The six-piece band came up in the primordial pouch of the early jam band scene, alongside Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors, Widespread Panic, and Phish.
NOTE: $1 from every ticket sold goes to Eddie’s Hugs. Eddie’s Hugs is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing awareness, reducing stigma, and supporting those affected by mental illness. Inspired by the life of Eddie Derhak, we strive to offer connection, compassion, and hope to individuals of all ages—especially young adults—through advocacy, education, and community outreach. By encouraging simple acts of kindness, like the power of a hug, we aim to create a culture where no one struggles alone and everyone feels seen, heard, and supported. Our mission is to raise awareness, fund mental health initiatives, and help prevent suicide—one hug, one heart, one life at a time.
