moe. will wrap up a meaningful year of touring with a two-night 2023 New Year’s run at The Kodak Center in Rochester, NY on December 30th and 31st.
Last year’s moe. New Year’s Eve show in Philadelphia marked guitarist/vocalist Chuck Garvey‘s first time back onstage with the band in more than a year after he suffered a stroke in November 2021. Soon after that show, the band announced that Chuck would be rejoining the lineup full-time. In 2023, with Chuck back in full force, moe. will roll into New Year’s with the momentum of a busy year of touring.
The announcement of moe.’s 2023 New Year’s Eve run comes as the band, along with several other musical acts and venues, lends strong support to The American Cancer Society (ACS) through its inaugural “Rock The Pink” campaign. This initiative aims to harness the influence of the music community to combat breast cancer. To date, the band has already raised more than $4,500, and efforts are ongoing.
Having collaborated with the ACS’s breast cancer initiatives for the past two years, this year moe. has combined efforts with Umphrey’s McGee, Goose, The Disco Biscuits, Andy Frasco & the U.N., Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Kitchen Dwellers, and Doom Flamingo, as well as venues like The Capitol Theatre and Garcia’s. Each participating entity is contributing in its own unique way, from selling limited edition merchandise to playing pink instruments on stage and wearing pink-themed outfits, all to generate funds and awareness for the cause. 100% of the proceeds go directly to ACS, the nation’s premier nonprofit for cancer research funding. For more information and various donation options, fans and supporters can visit the band’s website.
An artist pre-sale period for moe.’s Rochester New Year’s run will begin on Wednesday, October 4th at 10:00 a.m. ET using the password “GOUDA”. Remaining tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning on Friday, October 6th at 10:00 a.m. ET. For complete ticketing details, head here.
