Music Editor Jason Bracelin Writes 
One One Of The Biggest 
Stories For The 
Las Vegas Review Journal
About Life On The Road With 
The Popular Jam Band Moksha

This past Sunday, October 17 the Las Vegas Review Journal printed one of their largest story in the newspaper’s history, as front page news-including three additional pages inside the paper- was a piece by music editor Jason Bracelin about life on the road with admired groove rockers Moksha

Bracelin writes about his experiences riding in Moksha’s tour van and gets cozy with the jam rockers from Sin City to Southern California and up the coast to Northern California as four-page story explains the nitty-gritty about the not so glamorous life style on the road.

“The road is often romanticized into a smorgasbord of willing groupies, adoring fans and stuff-of-legend parties where a TV eventually gets tossed out of a hotel window. In reality, it’s about as seductive as the come-ons scrawled on the toilet stall of a truck stop men’s room.”

The real reason why Bracelin choose to hit the open road with Moksha was all about capturing the essence of their unique live shows. Live footage of the band showcasing on the rooftop of Vegas’ hip spot Binion’s was posted on the publication’s online site at http://www.lvrj.com/multimedia/Meet-local-jam-band-Moksha-105061374.html. The video also incorporates an interview with the five-piece-Sam Lemos(vocals), Jeremy Parks (guitar), John Heishman (bass, vocals), Patrick Gray (drums), and Brian Triola (organ/keys, vocals)-letting the band narrate their own story of performing on stage and speak about how they never perform the same set list twice and really enjoy giving the crowd an unexpected and rare experience.

“In Vegas, Moksha has become one of the biggest local draws,” says Bracelin. Not surprising as the band recently received the Vegas Rocks! award for Best Alternative/Progressive Rock Band2010 and a 2010 Hollywood Music And Media Awards (HMMA) nomination for their track “Interface” for Best Funk/Groove Song of the year. The single is from the band’s rave reviewed album Mammal Or Machine, which is currently being featured as CD giveaway contest on The-Trades for one lucky winner. 

Moksha continues to hit the road with two special Halloween performances at the Caspar Inn in Caspar, Calif. on October 28 and the Dr. “Funk”enstien’s Zombie “JAM”boree at The Hard Rock Cafe on October 30 in Las Vegas, presented by the Las Vegas Jam Band Society. The band is also performing in their home turf again onNovember 19 at the Winchester Cultural Center in Las Vegas with Cirque du Soleil’s saxophone player Marc Solis. For more information on Moksha’s upcoming shows visit www.mokshatime.com.
