CERVANTES' GRAND RE-OPENING 7TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION


WOW! We had the time of our lives at this year's "best of halloween" performance at Cervantes' on January 22nd and 23rd. Big ups to all the players for getting this crazy amount of music together in such a very short amount of time. And even bigger ups the the many hundreds of Motet fans who came out in droves to tear the roof off with us! Special thanks to Jen Durkin, Ryan Zoidis, Sam Kininger, and Dan Lebowitz for flying out and joining the band for these incredible shows.
In fact, you can download the entire shows by clicking on the links below.

NYE and JAMCRUISE


Thanks to all who came out to our NYE show at Cervantes with Hot Buttered Rum last weekend(please contact us if you have a recording!) It was another over the top, sold out show, which with the help of the Everyone Orchestra bounded into the wee hours of new year's day. This didn't help our packing schedule for the following day as we needed to leave first thing in the morning to embark on another epic Jamcruise expedition. Speaking of which, this year's Jamcruise was the most amazing experience of our collective lives!! So much fantastic music and so few hours of sleep. We are certainly still recovering from this unforgettable, life-changing festival on the sea. Thank you Jamcruise!!!
