Only purchase tickets from moesalley.com or ticketweb.com=====DAMIEN JURADOPlay on, theres no such thing as better days, Damien Jurado sings on Roger, the sweeping wash of a song that opens Reggae Film Star, his 18th full length album and second release from Jurados own Maraqopa Records label. But as he enters his 25th year as a recording artist, its clear these are, at the least, very good days for Jurado on the creative front. In these 12 songs, which evoke half-recalled dreams and overheard conversations, the cosmic rushes headlong into the autobiographical and specific moments on the clock fade from past to future to scenes set only in the eternal now.Playing out like a backlot documentary filmed on the location of an unnamed TV or film setmaybe a sitcom taping, or perhaps its a low budget science fiction B-movie, or could it be a talk show?the album is populated by performers awaiting call times, camera operators praying for their shot, and studio audiences rapt with anticipation. The stars here eschew glitz and glamor. Instead, they wander grocery stores and parking lots in the verdant Pacific Northwest and the desert Southwest, looking for payphones and a sense of purpose.

Moes Alley presents The Bones of J.R. Jones with special guest Henry from Ruen Brothers!Friday, October 24thDoors: 8pm / Show: 9pm$20 in advance / $25 day of the show21+*Tickets on sale Thursday, May 22nd at 10am PT*THE BONES OF J.R. JONESGrowing up, Jonathon Linaberry was obsessed with the radio. I remember sitting there at night, glued to the boombox, cassette player ready to record whenever my favorite songs came on, he recalls. There was something so thrilling about it, something romantic that I think weve lost now that everythings available at our fingertips. I wanted to find a way to get back to that place, to recapture those feelings of excitement and anticipation and possibility. Linaberry does precisely that on Radio Waves, his sixth studio album as The Bones Of J.R. Jones. Recorded in Toronto with producer Robbie Lackritz (Feist, Bahamas), the collection is moody and hypnotic, steeped in the sonic landscape of the 80s and 90s as it excavates the past with equal parts nostalgia and curiosity. The arrangements are utterly entrancing here, built on the tension between acoustic instruments and retro synthesizers, and Linaberrys performances are raw and visceral, at times aching in their vulnerability. Put it all together and youve got a poignant exploration of memory and longing delivered by a relentless searcher, a revelatory work of personal reflection steeped in the endless beauty, pain, and chaos of youth. Ive never really resonated with the idea of the good old days, Linaberry reflects. Your understanding of the past and your relationship with it change as you get older, and Ive always been more interested in the evolution of those feelings than in wearing any kind of rose colored glasses.HENRY FROM RUEN BROTHERSAfter their Rick-Rubin-produced debut album, and a self-produced second recordfeaturing songs theyd written for an award winning Netflix film, Ruen Brothers emergedwith a powerful and timeless ode to Western classics on their 2023 Ten Paces.Showcasing their mixing, mastering, writing and soundscape design talents, the Britishduo hit neo-noir gold on the ten song collection - their first for Yep Roc Records - withclassic melodies and dulcet, soaring vocal tones, laced with western guitar motifs andreverberant production.

Moes Alley presents a funk and soul dance party with Diggin Dirt and special guests Lemon City Trio!Saturday, October 25thDoors: 8pm / Show:9pm$22 in advance / $27 day of the show21+*All sales are final - no refunds*Avoid scammers! Only purchase tickets from moesalley.com or ticketweb.com=========DIGGIN DIRTFrom behind the redwood curtain of Humboldt County, California, the seven piece funk-soul band Diggin Dirt has carved out a niche as a live party not to be missed. Shoveling their own path, Diggin Dirt has seen sustained growth over the past few years, with multiple national tours and festival stops at Jam Cruise, High Sierra, Hulaween, Same Same but Different, Live Oak, Cascade Equinox, Joshua Tree Music Festival and many more. Per a 2024 Jam Cruise writer, This was the soul music I grew up with in the 60s and 70s, but I confess I wasnt expecting [Diggin Dirt] to be throwing it down this hard. This group is impossibly tight, and Zach Alder might be the best soul shouter Ive ever heard, and Ive heard a few. Their infectious sound is fueled by blazing horns, searing guitars and a relentlessly driving rhythm section, and tying it all together is the bands frontman who launches the ensemble into rarefied air with his pipes, charisma and natural-born soul. With flashes of James Brown or Sly and the Family Stone, Otis Redding or Tower of Power, the bands sound is both familiar and yet refreshingly original, layering psychedelic rock, Motown soul, afrobeat and even reggae atop a thick foundation of late-60s inspired funk.LEMON CITY TRIOLemon City Trio formed as a soul jazz organ trio, and has since evolved into a band with its own sound and unique repertoire. The band hails from Miami, Fl and has made a name for itself throughout the state, and up the east coast. Ranging from edgy fusion grooves, to dreamy space Rock, and everything in between, LCT takes its audience on a journey from start to finish.
