Looking ahead to Labor Day weekend moe.down will return to Snow Ridge Ski Mountain in Turin, NY. This will be the sixth installment of the festival, with the host band (and additional permutations thereof) joined by Keller Williams, Medeski, Martin and Wood, Matisyahu, RAQ, Addison Groove Project, The Breakfast and other artists yet to be announced. As yet there is no word as to whether the 3-on-3 basketball tournament or m-o-e-. competition will return but if either does we can safely say that moe. manager Jon Topper will not be victorious.

moe. will perform on June 10 and 11 at the State Theatre in Portland, ME with these shows recorded by the band and utilized for its next studio album, due out next year. Look for an interview with guitarist Al Schnier by former Jambands.com contributing editor and current moe. lighting designer Jeff Waful next week in Jambands.com
