The famoe.ly got a little bigger on Monday with the announcement from moe. that keyboardist Nate Wilson is now an official member of the band. The founding Percy Hill and Assembly of Dust keyboardist/flutist became an integral part of moe.’s sound following Chuck Garvey‘s stroke in 2021, joining the band on the road as a touring member along with guitarist Michael “Suke” Cerulo.
“We are thrilled to announce that our long-time friend, keyboardist Nate Wilson will be joining moe. full-time moving forward,” bassist Rob Derhak said. “Former founding member of both Percy Hill, and Assembly of Dust (and current band leader for Ghosts Of Jupiter), Nate has been part of our lineup since our first shows without Chuck Garvey. He has since proven himself a valued contributor to our sound, and now with Chuck back in the groove, he compliments our overall style. His sense of humor and overall breadth of musical knowledge is a welcome addition.”
Fans will have even more chances to catch Wilson in action with moe., who also recently reactivated Chuck Garvey for his first tour since his stroke, with the announcement of seven new spring tour dates. After moe. wraps up a previously announced run of shows throughout the Southeast in March, the band will resurface in Tulsa, OK on April 26th.
moe. will also play Dallas (4/27) and Austin, TX (4/28) before arriving in New Orleans for a pair of shows at Tipitina’s during the first weekend of New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (4/28, 4/29). After a weekend in the Big Easy, moe.’s spring tour will wrap with concerts in Fayetteville, AR (5/2) and Kansas City, MO (5/3).
“I’m beyond excited to embark on this new adventure as full-time keyboardist for moe.,” Wilson said. “The band and their fans are legends. Can’t wait to hit the road this spring!”
