HEY EVERYONE!

We are very excited to announce that for our Halloween weekend shows this year we will be performing the music of

**SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE**

We are especially excited for these shows because we will be joined by some phenomenal musicians from the west coast. In addition to Motet regulars Dave Watts, Joey Porter, and Dominic Lalli, we will be featuring former
Sly and the Family Stone guitarist:
GAIL MULDROW
Gail played on the 1975 Sly and the Family Stone record "I get High on You" and has recorded and toured extensively with Sly bassist Larry Graham’s Graham Central Station. In addition she has also toured with Merle Saunders and JGB
(among countless other artists and groups).
Gail is a fantastic vocalist as well as a slamming funk guitar player so she will undoubtedly be a huge addition to this year’s line-up.
Also, we are binging in from Portland Oregon our ever-popular vocalist Jans Ingber, singer extraordinaire Paul Creighton, and the most raw and funky bassist west of the Willamette: Dan Scollard. And last but certainly not least, the omni-present and always charming Cecil “P-Nut” Daniels will be joining us with his futuristic electro-trumpet!
The dates are as follows:

Wednesday, October 28th
HODI'S HALFNOTE
Ft. Collins, CO

Thursday, October 29th
FOX THEATRE
Boulder, CO

Friday and Saturday,
October 30th and 31st
CERVANTE’S MASTERPIECE BALLROOM
Denver, CO

Now’s the time to bone-up on your Sly knowledge, people! They had plenty of hits back in the day as well as a ton of super-funky material that flew under the radar.
So, you can’t quite recall any Sly and the Family Stone tunes? Here’s the short list to jog the ol’ memory:
If You Want Me to Stay, Stand!, Family Affair, I Want to Take You Higher, Everyday People, You Can Make It if You Try, Thank You for Lettin’ Me Be Myself, Sing a Simple Song, Dance to the Music

This promises to be an epic run of shows (and every year they sell out), so get your tickets early!!

--------------------------

Hey, big thanks to everyone who showed up to the latest installment of our Talking Heads tribute over at Cervantes at the end of July. Over 1000 of you came out to burn down the house with us and it was hot enough in there to spontaneously combust.
No joke, the ceiling was literally dripping with post-Phish hippie sweat!
On that note, we have just learned there are a few more cabins for sale on this year’s Jamcruise.

So, if you are still on the fence about joining us as we sail the high seas (with a couple of brief stops in Jamaica and Mexico), just think about witnessing us rage our Talking Heads set under the moonlit Caribbean sky with the sea-breeze blowing your hair and the taste of salt water in the air (as opposed to dripping hippie sweat!).
These are the things memories are made of folks, so please, please, please don’t get left out…….

OH, SNAP!!!
We thought our idea of playing "The Best of Halloween" at Cervantes was going to be fairly successful, but last Friday night's show was over the top!
More than 1000 super enthusiastic Motet fans came out and tore the place up. We had a great time revisiting all that material from Halloweens past
(yes, even the Madonna tunes).
Big thanks to all you who showed up and made it an epic evening, certainly on par with any Halloween show yet.
Let's do it again!
Btw, you can watch the whole show right here:
