Are you a “moe.ron?” For the unlearned, that’s the term applied to rabid fans of cult-favorite high-energy jam band moe. The boys from Buffalo, New York, have spent almost two decades spreading the jam love. Their first record, 1992’s Fatboy, established them in the vibrant scene that included up-and-comers Dave Matthews Band, Phish and Widespread Panic. They’ve played Woodstock ‘99, Bonnaroo, Vegoose and countless other circuit hotspots, with masses of moe.rons clogging the highways and byways to get to the next show. Both the band’s guitarists Al Schnier and Chuck Garvey were named in Rolling Stone’s list of the 20 New Guitar Gods. The band’s latest disc, Sticks and Stones, is rife with hot riffs, slow grooves, crooning vocals and solid percussion, critically acclaimed as moe.’s best to date.
