Tomorrow night, jamband stalwarts moe. will celebrate their 20th anniversary with two shows at New York City's Roseland Ballroom. In addition to marking the milestone, Friday night's show will serve a more civic minded purpose: not only will the show benefit World Hunger Year, the organization co-founded by singer-songwriter Harry Chapin, it will benefit those in need in Haiti. If you have any questions as why the latter is necessary, stop reading this site immediately and get thyself a newspaper, you are in desperate need of a clue. The benefit will feature guest appearances from The Allman Brothers Band's Butch Trucks, David Sanborn, Yonder Mountain String Band's Jeff Austin, banjo great Danny Barnes and Marco Benevento. This won't be moe.'s first benefit at Roseland. In February of 2005, moe. enlisted Trey Anastasio, Sam Bush and John Medeski to put on a monster show to raise money to assist victims of the Tsunami that struck India at the end of 2004.

moe. ISN'T THE ONLY BAND lending their voices to the Haitian cause. By the time you read this, Robert Randolph & The Family Band will have played the Brooklyn Bowl to benefit the Red Cross Haiti Fund and Yele Haiti but tonight the hippest bowling alley in Williamsburg will feature DJ sets from Q-Tip and ?uestlove.
