snoe.down @ Killington and Rutland – March 26-28
moe. hosted their third snoe.down in Killington, Vermont over the weekend as part of the Music & Winter Sports Festival. Headlining both Friday & Saturday nights at the Spartan Arena, moe. also played a free afternoon set at the base of Killington Mountain & a special acoustic brunch set for VIPs.
Smaller bands like Lynch, The Bridge, Heavy Pets, and The McLovins performed at K1 and Bear Mountain Lodge throughout the weekend, while bigger acts like Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Assembly of Dust, and Railroad Earth opened for moe. at the arena. As noted by an emcee on Friday night, Sharon Jones was the inaugural “rock” act to break-in the arena, and moe. would play the arena’s first sold-out show.
There was a little bit of a learning curve for fans trying to find their way to Spartan Arena, which was located in a parking lot behind a mall. Fans filtered their way in for moe.’s first set, with some parents and kids under 21 disappointed with the set up (those old enough to drink had the first 2/3 of the hockey rink to themselves, with the other 1/3 stuck behind a barricade in the back with local vending).
