moe.

Artist's Website

moe. is…Led Zeppelin, Steely Dan and Gram Parsons…
from hard rock to melodic country, moe can write songs and they can play the bejesus out of them live. They can deliver live energy to a studio recording and are equally comfortable playing textural musical landscapes or ballistic guitar solos. By not limiting their songwriting to preconceived genres, moe. are a rarity in today’s pop music culture.

This band of five musicians was formed in upstate New York in 1991. They got their name from the old Louis Jordan tune ‘Five Guys Named Moe’. Rolling Stone says “The secret of great jamming is accomplished songwriting — melodic figures and payoff choruses that hold up under the stress of de- and reconstruction. moe. are among the few whose composing approaches that kind of focused greatness”.
