Moonalice is a psychedelic, roots-rock band of seasoned musicians mix-ing a variety of genres with extended musical improvisations. Everyone is a part of the experience. Moonalice was the brainchild of the great pro-ducer, T Bone Burnett in 2007 because he wanted to create a band with a San Francisco 60's sound. Moonalice plays mostly original material mixed with some covers, and during their extended freeform jams the band moves as one, drawing from many musical genres honed from years of experience playing with various major acts. Every show features an origi-nal art poster, created by a well-known artist, and with its own unique Moonalice "legend". A copy of the poster will be given free to all attendees. All Moonalice concerts are broadcast live in HD on the Moon-alice Couch Tour and available shortly after their set.

Jason Crosby and Roger McNamee formed a duo called "Doobie Decibel System" (DDS). As the Dewey Decimal System organizes library materi-als by discipline or field of study, the Doobie Decibel System throws its di-verse musical talents together to create riffs and songs that cross genre and generation.
On any given night, Doobie Decibel System play their original songs, such as "Backlash" and "Wrong Side of The Road" by Crosby and "Live A Lit-tle" and "Couple of Puffs" by McNamee, and dip into rock 'n' roll archives playing a variety of classics from The Beatles, Pink Floyd and The Grate-ful Dead. The duo's distinctive style is heard in every song while they con-tinue to surprise the audience by playing improvisations and creating a unique sound that encapsulates their talents and energy.
Over the last decade, Jason Crosby has been a member of Robert Ran-dolph and the Family Band and the Susan Tedeschi Band, among others. In recent years, Crosby has played with Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Carlos San-tana, Pete Seeger, Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen and Dave Matthews in various configurations. His discography includes appearing on Anasta-sia's multi-platinum hit "Freak of Nature" as well as Tedeschi's Grammy-nominated "Wait for Me"; and more recent releases from Phillip Phillips, Pretty Lights, Robert Randolph, and Teddy Thompson.
Roger McNamee is lead vocalist and plays bass and guitar with Moon-alice, performing 90-100 shows a year. Moonalice has leveraged tech-nology to help build a national audience. The Moonalice Couch Tourâ„¢ on Moonalice.com enables fans to watch any show on a smartphone, PC or tablet without an app. Moonalice works with 24 poster artists to pro-duce a unique poster that is given to guests at every concert.
The Doobie Decibel System also supports the creative community by of-fering a commemorative poster by a well-known artist to fans at each show. Live streaming video in HD of every performance is available and archived for free listening via their website doobiedecibelsystem.com and social media channels.
