Thursday Night with moe.





AT&T will be contacting me soon about this "Raising the Bar" shot.


An abandoned mic on the soundboard bigger than Buffalo, NY (where moe. was formed in 1990).

Here are some shots from moe., a band I had quite honestly never listened to before tonight when I worked their show. I handled the merch table with a nice chap named John, who's been on tour with the band for the past two years. His brother, Rob Derhak, is John's younger brother and bassist/vocals in the band. Family support never ceases to make me smile.
Given the fact that moe. has produced more than 17 albums in their 20 years, you can bet their shows operate like a well-oiled machine. The show was a fun and smooth bit to work, and I'm glad I found out what moe. actually sounds like.

Contact Tables and Concerts

   Thought I'd do a quick little update about my plans for tonight. Toubab Krewe and Scythian are here tonight at Legends, and I've been promoting the show since 11:00 a.m. 
  There's something very invasive and awkward about contact tables. You can either sit behind the table scattered with posters and text or do some communications homework, or you can stand in front and stuff handbills into the palms of strangers holding a half-finished text message or a Crossroads latte. Sure you're encroaching on their bubble, but hey - if it gets one more person to the show tonight, it's worth it. 
  Working on merch throughout the show for Toubab Krewe. Scythian is supposed to be a killer dance band. I've never seen their show before, and I'm looking forward to a fun, dance-filled night!
