This is our fifth year presenting this tribute to Bob and were excited about moving to The Hammerstein, which is more than twice as large as our previous venue, said Mike Adams, Moog Music President. Every year the artists who play at Moogfest tell us what a fun event it is, and as a result we have been privy to many fine performances. This years lineup and our annual Bob Tribute award will make for another fantastic evening for music fans.
Moogfest 2008 will also feature Moog Musics transforming new instrument, The Moog Guitar.
Performers scheduled to participate include Umphrey's McGee, Eric McFadden Trio, Bernie Worrell (P-Funk), The Machine, Aron Magner (Disco Biscuits), Jamie Shields (The New Deal), Joe Russo (Benevento/Russo) and others.
