Back to Back Nights, Moe. the legendary jam band hailing from Buffalo, New York, delivered an unforgettable performance at Denver’s own Ogden Theater leaving fans in a state of trans as they head back into the work week. Thankfully, Sunday fun day can also be Sunday rest day. We had the pleasure of covering their show on Saturday and needless to say the night was full of pure joy all around, live music is simply one of the best things out there.
From the moment the house lights dimmed, the stage filled with colorful lights, setting the tone for the epic night of music. Known for their American jam band and improvisational live performances, their musical style combines elements of rock, blues, folk, and funk that Rob Derhak (bass, vocals), Chuck Garvey (guitar, vocals), Al Schnier (guitar, vocals), Jim Loughlin (percussions), and Vinnie Amico (drums) have mastered blending their songs within one another seamlessly for decades now. Over the years, they have released a substantial catalog of studio albums, live recordings, and compilations. Some of their notable studio albums include “The Conch”, “No Guts, No Glory”, and the all-time classic “No Day”. Moe. has maintained a dedicated fan base, as they continue to tour and perform regularly. Their live shows are known for their balanced energy and audience interaction, and this weekend tuned in perfectly. 
As mentioned, what sets Moe. apart is their ability to seamlessly blend layers of their music and other tracks into one another all expertly interwoven into extended jam sessions that gets the audience synced together in one big grove. Derhak, with his distinctive bass lines and soulful vocals, anchored the band’s sound, while Amico’s drumming provided a pulsating backbone for the improvisational adventures that unfolded on stage. The audience was an essential part of the show, and Moe. made sure to engage with the dedicated fan base throughout the night even giving thanks to everyone that made it out and even more so to those that were able to make it both nights. These shared musical experiences create a sense of community that is a hallmark of the jam band scene. The concert was a reminder of the power that live music has to offer, with the ability to create a shared experience from one journey to the next.
