Combining elements of groove, funk, rock, and world music, The Moho Collective, an instrumental trio from Rochester, NY, strives for a raw, open, and free-form sound, proving vocals are not necessary to engage the listener if the music speaks for itself.
Come see them open our Saturday festival lineup on the Main Stage from 2-3 PM!

Pia Mater joins us Sunday on our Second Stage from 7-8 PM!
Pia Mater is Progressive Funk Rock with an addiction to improvisation and a focus on writing great songs. This could mean many different things, from a four minute pop song to a ten minute progressive suite. Get them on stage and be prepared to have these songs expand.
In July of 2010, the band released their second album, Technicolor Duck. The main tracks of the album were recorded live in one day and the album features minimal overdubs. The music ranges from straight dance floor grooves to dark hip hop to some of their trademark funk. The album also mixes strong lyrical content and vocal melodies with extended instrumental pieces that move through a variety of styles.
The band is currently maintaining a busy live schedule while working on writing new material. The band plans to enter the studio in spring 2011, but with the ever changing landscape of the music industry, they have no specific plans on how they will release this material to the public.
RootsCollider has emerged onto the scene as the definitive analogue “21st Century Quartet of Dry & Heavy Livetronica” that continues to push the sonic envelope toward enlightenment. The act has quickly become regional favorites for so many and has gained wide recognition by sweeping upstate NY off of it’s feet as one of the fastest growing live original acts from Rochester, NY.
