Moonalice Welcomes John Molo

MOONALICE WELCOMES DRUMMER JOHN MOLO INTO THE TRIBE
BAND GETS READY FOR SUMMER FESTIVAL CIRCUIT

John Molo

Just in time for the upcoming summer festival season, all-star Bay Area-based jam-rockers Moonalice have welcomed a new member to their tribe with the addition of drummer John Molo into the band. A Grammy-winning member of Bruce Hornsby‘s band for nearly 15 years, Molo has also logged kit time with Phil Lesh & Friends, The Other Ones, John Fogerty, Keller Williams and many more. Molo replaces Jim Sanchez, who has left the band for personal reasons but remains a dear friend and member of the Moonalice tribe.

“This was meant to be,” said Molo. “I was in San Francisco last week and had a premonition that I should call Moonalice. I had no idea they were auditioning drummers, but they were. It’s great to be part of the tribe.”

“John is a fantastic drummer with a deep understanding of American music. He is perfect for Moonalice,” said GE Smith, the band’s musical director. “We can’t wait to get back on the road!”

The new Moonalice lineup is currently touring in support of the band’s debut, self-titled studio album (released April 14), which was produced by Grammy-winner T Bone Burnett. The band has some incredible performances coming up, including big summer festivals like Bonnaroo, Wakarusa, Gathering of the Vibes, Earth Dance and more. The members of Moonalice put on an absolutely spellbinding performance night after night, with epic shows that often run well past the three-hour mark. The all-star band features GE Smith (Saturday Night Live, Bob Dylan, Hall & Oates), Pete Sears (Rod Stewart, Jefferson Starship, Hot Tuna), Barry Sless (Phil Lesh & Friends), Roger McNamee (Flying Other Brothers, also Bono’s business partner at Elevation), Ann McNamee (Flying Other Brothers, Ann Atomic) and occasional seventh member Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna).
