Progressive jam band, moe. will make their long awaited return to The Wilma in Missoula on June 22, 2023.
Described by Rolling Stone as a “legendary jam band,” moe. have been touring for more than two decades and have recorded more than 20 studio and live albums combined. The quintet consists of Al Schnier and Chuck Garvey on guitars and vocals, Rob Derhak on bass and vocals, Jim Loughlin on percussion and vibes, and Vinnie Amico on drums. In the same year, Rolling Stone ranked Chuck and Al among the top twenty new “guitar gods,” Jim and Vinnie were featured in Drum! magazine, and Rob was featured in Bass Player and State of Mind magazines. So yeah, they have some serious chops!
Establishing themselves as a preeminent force within the progressive rock music scene, moe. have developed a strong and dedicated fan base of “moe.rons.” The band has toured the globe, performing at countless festivals, including Summer Camp, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Woodstock ’99, and Summerfest just to name a few. They’ve also hosted their own festivals including Moedown, snoe.down, and even a moe. cruise.
