The band members are: Rob Derhak (bass, Vocals), Al Schnier (guitar, Vocals, keyboard), Chuck Garvey (guitar, Vocals), Vinnie Amico (drums), and Jim Loughlin (percussion).\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band's first record, Fatboy (1992), established the band as a favorite of the 1990s jam band and improvisational rock scene that grew in popularity with bands such as Phish and Widespread Panic. Just as Grateful Dead followers were coined \"Dead Heads\", avid Moe fans embrace the term \"moe.rons.\" Moe toured with the 1997 Furthur Festival, appeared at Woodstock '99, played Summerstage at the Rumsey Playfield in Central Park, opened for The Allman Brothers and The Who, performed at Radio City Music Hall on New Year's Eve 2006 and returned there for New Year's Eve 2007.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring an interview, guitarist Al Schnier was asked to describe Moe for those who have never heard their music: \"It's an amalgamation of a wide variety of the history of rock, all regurgitated and recycled through the eyes, ears, hands, whatever of the guys in our band and all of that with a sense of adventure, a sense of humor, also a constant desire to push the envelope. All in this arena of taking chances, improvising live, and making things up on the spot.\"\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/moe+","playStationPath":"/stations/113262692/play","stationId":113262692,"bioPath":"/music/moe+/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Dave+Matthews+Tim+Reynolds","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/911/91187ef5ece316f6025d534170bd7c53_md.jpg","artistName":"Dave Matthews \u0026 Tim Reynolds","artistId":56147,"station_id":259812075},{"musicPath":"/music/Wooden+Shjips","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5ec/5ec7bbd3a70bcfc3c04943d4e46c8ac9_md.jpg","artistName":"Wooden Shjips","artistId":15711,"station_id":137128646},{"musicPath":"/music/Moon+Taxi","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/454/454ca0fcf034e2d0133575f39194cd3e_md.jpg","artistName":"Moon Taxi","artistId":122084,"station_id":283860739},{"musicPath":"/music/Little+Feat","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8a6/8a659116570ecb77f2377bd9656eac80_md.jpg","artistName":"Little Feat","artistId":6892,"station_id":113289163},{"musicPath":"/music/Sleepy+Sun","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/132/13271dabf8212ddcb4cf4c652dec20cf_md.jpg","artistName":"Sleepy Sun","artistId":56417,"station_id":260118397},{"musicPath":"/music/Vida+Blue","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/395/395542f22617f2e87e387f789a2b49fd_md.jpg","artistName":"Vida Blue","artistId":424875,"station_id":400336703},{"musicPath":"/music/Allman+Brothers+Band","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/917/917b310e378f97117796c336d30a8182_md.jpg","artistName":"Allman Brothers Band","artistId":5235,"station_id":113264104},{"musicPath":"/music/Medeski+Scofield+Martin+Wood","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/472/4720fe1a65fc034e3ff12c033f9c2366_md.jpg","artistName":"Medeski Scofield Martin \u0026 Wood","artistId":101363,"station_id":280763694},{"musicPath":"/music/Dungen","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/763/76305bacac45ded1e91e12b017582841_md.jpg","artistName":"Dungen","artistId":11246,"station_id":115445361},{"musicPath":"/music/Old+In+The+Way","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/6c7/6c7a6d499fede2b84ccc3fe786f009f2_md.jpg","artistName":"Old \u0026 In The Way","artistId":13331,"station_id":113909865},{"musicPath":"/music/Old+97+s","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/58c/58caa21b18748c8bd31dfffcd2e5b838_md.jpg","artistName":"Old 97's","artistId":1183,"station_id":113264121},{"musicPath":"/music/Les+Claypool+s+Frog+Brigade","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/607/607cddab057bbbfb422aa89b6bb9295f_md.jpg","artistName":"Les Claypool's Frog Brigade","artistId":108824,"station_id":281863353},{"musicPath":"/music/Anders+Osborne","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ea1/ea1d1243cfffda1fa6bd2b62a53dad07_md.jpg","artistName":"Anders Osborne","artistId":55218,"station_id":259303659},{"musicPath":"/music/Tedeschi+Trucks+Band","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b3e/b3eaa73f5e1ef90a6884aaa4852f4f44_md.jpg","artistName":"Tedeschi Trucks Band","artistId":87964,"station_id":270664587},{"musicPath":"/music/Trampled+By+Turtles","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/26e/26e118ed853de7ae83fe28ec20d5d278_md.jpg","artistName":"Trampled By Turtles","artistId":54000,"station_id":257273487},{"musicPath":"/music/The+New+Deal","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/6e4/6e420d399fa0f5074cb8949a56bbd97a_md.jpg","artistName":"The New Deal","artistId":11928,"station_id":114630075},{"musicPath":"/music/Goose","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/276/276a249dd62f911f518f5b17f795b2b3_md.jpg","artistName":"Goose","artistId":110681,"station_id":282142191},{"musicPath":"/music/Steve+Kimock+Band","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/281/2818d49090ac234e349524f87c7fee98_md.jpg","artistName":"Steve Kimock Band","artistId":110117,"station_id":282141225}]}
