THE MOTET
A new beginning can happen at any time. No matter where you may be on your journey, you can always start over once again.
After 26 years, nine albums, and over a thousand shows, The Motet embark on another chapter galvanized in equal measure by their longstanding bond and a surge of fresh energy. The genre-breaking group—Dave Watts [drums], Joey Porter [keys], Garrett Sayers [bass], Drew Sayers [keys, saxophone], and Ryan Jalbert [guitar]—officially welcome Sarah Clarke [lead vocals] to the family. Their inimitable instrumental interplay proves just as fiery as ever, while her addition only fuels their collective flame higher.
MICHAEL WILBUR
Michael Wilbur is an internationally touring saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist from Brockton, Massachusetts. He has redefined dance music with raw brass energy and genre-defying innovation.
Mastering the saxophone for nearly three decades and performing professionally worldwide 16 years, Wilbur co-founded Moon Hooch, the pioneering two-saxophone-led dance band that ignited a brass/sax revolution. Rising from NYC subway busking to global stages, they've headlined festivals and played in over 20 countries, blending explosive EDM, jazz, hip-hop, soul, and house into unstoppable grooves.
