Through Moe’s commUNITY project a different non profit is put in focus at each concert summer night.
On August 17, the featured non profit will be Risers 4 Rett! On that night you can also hear the band Turkuaz. Doors open at 5:30pm, show starts at 6:30pm and goes until 8:30pm.
Check out what the Vail Daily wrote about the band Turkuaz:
Brooklyn-based nine-piece Turkuaz have lit up stages everywhere from Bonnaroo to Red Rocks. Balancing male and female harmonies, strutting guitars, wild horn arrangements and interminable grooves, the spirit of Turkuaz comes through in its larger-than-life performances. “[Turkuaz] delivers horn-filled funk incorporating elements of R&B, psychedelic pop, gospel, Afro-pop, New Wave, classic rock and just about any genre that gets people dancing,” The New Yorker writes. Whether seated on the lawn of The Amp or under the pavilion, there will be plenty of room to dance when Turkuaz takes the stage in Vail for Hot Summer Nights.
