On Saturday, moe. made a stop at the inaugural Suwannee Rising Music Festival, held at Live Oak, FL’s beloved Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. With a strict curfew, moe. opted to offer up a monstrous, one-set show performance.
moe. opened up their first set with heavy-hitter fan-favorite “Rebubula”, which they left unfinished and ended up sandwiching the entirety of the set with. Moving out of “Rebubula”, the quintet smoothly segued into “Mar-DeMa”, a Vinnie Amico-penned tune that the band debuted at their Electric Lemoe.nade Acid Test show in 2010. With guitarists Chuck Garvey and Al Schnier firing off on all cylinders, moe. dove head first into “Bearsong”. The band finally took a chance to catch their breaths before Garvey stepped up to lead his bandmates through “New Hope For The New Year”, a newer tune the band debuted in 2018 at their celebratory Capitol Theatre run, marking bassist Rob Derhak‘s return to the stage.
Schnier took the lead, as moe. pushed forward with a pairing of “Puebla” and “Haze”, both off of moe.’s 2012 What Happened to the La Las release. The band segued smoothly out of “Brittle End” into “Opium”, which seemed to delight moe. fans in attendance, as Garvey and Schnier continued to battle it out on their axes. The five-piece rock unit continued to channel the incomparable energy of the Suwannee crowd, as they worked through “Opium” and “Lazarus” before crashing back into “Rebubula” to wrap their high-energy Florida throwdown. The band reemerged to deliver a lone encore of “Recreational Chemistry”.
