Hailed by American Songwriter for their “mind-bending musicality,” moe. is treasured for their
mesmerizing musical synergy, unfettered showmanship, and smart, resonant songcraft. For three
decades, the band has corralled myriad musical forms on a truly original journey rich with crafty,
clever songwriting and astonishing resourcefulness. Fueled by an impassioned fan base, moe. has
spent much of those thirty years on the road, encompassing countless live performances marked
by eclectic wit, deep friendship, and exploratory invention.

Melvin Seals has been a powerful presence in the music industry for over 30 years with a long-
established reputation as a performer, recording artist and producer. Melvin is most revered for
his powerful, high-spirited, Hammond B-3 organ, and keyboards in the Jerry Garcia Band.
Melvin spun his B-3 magic with the Jerry Garcia Band for 18 years and in doing so helped
pioneer and define what has now become “Jam Band Music”. From blues to funk to rock to jazz,
Melvin Seals serves up a tasty mix with a little R&B and gospel thrown in to spice things up.
Continuously on the road with his band JGB, featuring John Kadlecik, John-Paul McLean and
Jeremy Hoenig, Melvin Seals continues to spread the music of Jerry Garcia Band and more.
In addition to lots of great music, the festival will also feature a variety of food and craft vendors
as well a great view of the Lake George fireworks on Saturday evening.
