MoogLab at BIG EARS '09; Umphrey's McGee Gets Mooged-Out!

February 3, 2009 - The Bob Moog Foundation will be bringing its Interactive Sonic Experience, or MoogLab, to the inaugural BIG EARS '09 music festival in Knoxville, Tennesee. BIG EARS '09, taking place this weekend (February 6th-8th), promises to be an extraordinary weekend celebrating cutting edge musical explorations. Philip Glass, Fennez, Matmos and Pauline Oliveros are just a few of the innovative acts that will be featured during the festival. You can find out more about BIG EARS here.

The Foundation will be offering its MoogLab experience throughout the weekend. A team of BMF volunteers will be guiding attendees through several interactive stations of Moog synths, theremins and effect pedals as well as a very cool Moogerfooger® Remix Station. To find out more about our setup, see our blog and a description on the Big Ears website.

Come join us for some serious sonic fun!

In other big news, we are delighted to announce that Umphrey's McGee will be performing a benefit pre-show for the Bob Moog Foundation at MoDaddy's in Asheville, North Carolina on February 21, 2009.
