AWARD WINNING GROOVE ROCKERS MOKSHA 
KICKS OFF A FALL TOUR
INCLUDING TWO NIGHTS AT QUIXOTE’S TRUE BLUE IN DENVER 
FOR BACK TO BACK PHISH AFTERPARTY PERFORMANCES 
WITH SPECIAL GUESTS PETER APFELBAUM, JENNIFER HARTSWICK AND A.P.O.S.T.L.E.

Las Vegas jam band powerhouse Moksha follows their exciting win for “Best Alternative/Progressive Rock Band” at the Vegas Rocks! Awards with a multi-state fall tour that includes two nights at Denver’s Quixote’s True Blue (October 11-12) with special guests Peter Apfelbaum, Jennifer Hartswick and A.P.O.S.T.L.E performing atafterparties for the popular jam band Phish, who is headlining October 10, 11 and 12 in Broomfield, CO (outside of  Denver).

The lowdown on Moksha’s guest artists at Quixote’s: Innovative tenor saxophonist/pianist/drummer/composer/bandleader Peter Apfelbaum is a veteran of both Phish (Giant Country Horns) and the Trey Anastasio band. He performs on Moksha’s recently released debut album Mammal or Machine.

Versatile jazz-based vocalist Jennifer Hartswick has recorded numerous albums with Anastasio and performed with him for seven years, touring internationally and sharing the stage and studio with such legends as Carlos Santana, Dave Matthews, The Rolling Stones, Paul Simon and Herbie Hancock. 

With an extensive tour history around the U.S. at festivals and clubs with his former band Heavyweight Dub Champion, A.P.O.S.T.L.E. has earned his stripes as a live show veteran. He has additionally cultivated undeniable name recognition in his hometown of Denver for his work as a grassroots community activist, performance poet, ghostwriter, and performer. Recently A.P.O.S.T.L.E. relocated to the Bay Area to combine all of these efforts into one project. Lyrical Activism is his definitive work and is destined to be an underground classic. 

Moksha’s other tour dates this fall include North Country Fair in Arcata, CA (September 18); Wavy Gravy’s Hog Farm, Laytonville, CA (September 25); Binions Horseshoe, Las Vegas (October 8); Hard Rock Café, Las Vegas (October 23 and 30); Caspar Inn, Caspar, CA (October 18); and the Winchester Cultural Center, Las Vegas (November 19). 

Moksha, whose name, appropriately, means “liberate” in Hindi—has been blistering audiences in their hometown of Las Vegas since 2007 with a hard-to-contain sound that guitarist Jeremy Parks calls, “An anything goes approach to music.”

While they’ve traditionally embraced the “jam band” tag that fans and raving critics have given them, the band—which includes John Heishman (bass, vocals), Patrick Gray(drums), and Brian Triola (organ/keys, vocals) —is crossing over with wider mainstream appeal, thus releasing their highly anticipated debut, Mammal Or Machine.

Mammal Or Machine features Santana’s horn section, guest vocalists Angela Kerfoot and Sam Lemos, DJ Logic and New Orleans guitar legend Brian Stoltz (Funky Meters, Neville Brothers, Bob Dylan).
