Music: The moe. you know

By Brent Thompson

moe. has been described as a “legendary jam band” and “the preeminent progressive rock band on the music scene today.” On the heels of touring behind its 2006 release The Conch, the band retreated to rural Massachusetts for the writing and recording of its next studio release. The result is Sticks And Stones, released in January on Fatboy Records. Convening in a space once occupied by a church, the band wrote eight of the album’s 10 tracks during the recording session. A diverse effort, Sticks And Stones feels both familiar and fresh at the same time.

Known for superior musicianship and a devoted fan base, moe. – Al Schnier, Vinnie Amico, Rob Derhak, Chuck Garvey and Jim Loughlin hosts the festivals Summer Camp, Snoe.down and moe.down. In addition, the band has appeared at Lollapaloooza, Langerado and the Ottawa BluesFest.

moe. will perform at Workplay on Friday, April 11. Show time is 9 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at www.workplay.com or by calling 380-4082.
