moe. got some help from their friends the Conehead Buddha horns as they celebrated guitarist Al Schnier’s 47th birthday with the first show of their Tropical Throe.down destination festival in Negril, Jamaica yesterday. Shannon Lynch (saxophone) Terry Lynch (trumpet) and Shaun Bazylewicz (trombone) joined the band for “Annihilation Blues,” “Nebraska,” “Tenth Avenue Freeze Out” and “Akimbo” during the first set before returning for the “Late In The Evening” encore that closed out the show. The night also featured a four-song second set of non-stop music that saw the band work through “Recreational Chemistry,” “Yodelittle,” “Jazz Wank” and “Buster.”

moe. will continue their Tropical Throe.down tonight with the second of four shows at Negril’s Grand Lido Resort.
