PORTLAND — The band moe. will take the stage Saturday, Oct. 16, to help celebrate the grand opening weekend of the State Theatre.

From modest beginnings in a Buffalo basement over two decades ago to today’s multifaceted success, the members of moe. are still driven to deliver honest, heartfelt music.

Considerate and conscientious in their actions and decision-making, moe.’s refreshingly unpretentious attitude has won them a devoted legion of dedicated fans.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of moe.’s frontline of Rob Derhak (bass, vocals), Chuck Garvey (guitar, vocals) and Al Schnier (guitar, keyboards, vocals), who continue to perform together with drummer Vinnie Amico and percussionist/multi-instrumentalist Jim Loughlin.

Moe. successfully self-releases its music, offering instant on-site digital concert recordings at its shows.

The concert will begin at 8 p.m. General admission tickets are $25. They are available at the Cumberland County Civic Center box office, by calling 800-745-3000 and online at www.statetheatreportland.com. State Theatre is at 609 Congress St.
