moe. wrapped up their most recent tour leg on Sunday night in Nashville, offering a performance heavy on holiday themes and featuring a couple special guests—including Umphrey’s McGee drummer Kris Myers—for their final show before they ring in the new year in Rochester, NY, later this month.

moe. had been dusting off holiday tunes all weekend before Sunday night, playing “Oh Hanukkah” during Friday night’s Atlanta encore for the first time since December 2016, then following that up with Elvis Presley’s “Blue Christmas” during night two in Atlanta the following evening, again for the first time in just over two years (Saturday’s show also featured guest spots from Camper van Beethoven/Cracker guitarist David Lowery and Atlanta Braves organist Matthew Kaminski).

Last night’s holiday addition was a first-set run of “Together at Christmas,” the first of three songs from the show that moe. played for the first time since that early December 2016 run. At the end of the first set, moe. were joined by guitarist Kririn Lane for the closer, “Mexico.”

Set two followed a similar format, with moe. bringing back Vince Guaraldi Trio’s classic Charlie Brown song “Linus & Lucy,” then welcoming UM’s Kris Myers for a set-closing run of “Faker” and “Brent Black.” The band later returned for an encore that kicked off with Burl Ives’ “We’re a Couple of Misfits” from the iconic Christmas movie Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and wrapped with the final tune of the tour, “Akimbo.”

See the full setlist below. moe. are off the road until their New Year’s Eve run at the Kodak Center in Rochester, NY, starting December 30. Consult the band’s full schedule here.
