Following the major al.nouncement that Chuck Garvey will rejoin moe. on New Year’s Eve in Philadelphia, the band has announced a winter 2023 run of tour dates along the East Coast.
The run of seven new concerts in three states and the District of Columbia will arrive after the founding guitarist performs with his band as a “special guest” at The Fillmore. Beyond the significance of Garvey’s first public performance since suffering a stroke last November, The Fillmore holds added meaning as moe.’s 2021 Halloween show there marked Chuck’s last concert. moe. announced Garvey’s presence earlier this month at the culmination of a three-night run at Boulder, CO’s Fox Theatre but did not elaborate on the extent of his involvement.
“The band has yet to announce plans for Chuck to return to the band on a full-time basis following his sit-in on NYE,” a press release noted.

The newly announced moe. tour dates lean heavily on the Northeast, beginning on January 19th at The Paramount in Huntington, NY. The band—which in Garvey’s absence is aided by guitarist Michael “Suke” Cerulo and keyboardist Nate Wilson—will then visit our nation’s capital for a gig at 9:30 Club (1/20) before retreating north to the Wellmont Theater in Montclair, NJ (1/21).
After a month off, the tour will resume with a two-night run at Portland, ME’s State Theatre (2/17–18) before culminating at the Palace Theatre in Albany, NY (2/24–25). The first performance will coincide with moe. Day in Albany, an officially-recognized local holiday since 2018.
