Bio

Moser Woods is a two piece , progressive, instrumental, rock band comprised of  keys and drums.  Lance Hoeppner and Rick Kinney have been creating music together for over 12 years. This experience has lead to performances with many great acts such as Buckethead, Rusted Root, Lotus, and many more (listed below).  With their unique sound and great live show, Moser Woods has established a niche that is all their own. Playing for thousands of people each year Moser Woods has created a large fan base in the mid-west and is always looking to expand. Their live show is not something you can forget, creating a massive sound with only two musicians on stage.

Hidden Relic Review by Joey B. :
Moser Woods took the stage a little after 12:30am. I knew I really liked Moser Woods, but I didn't know how much. They're by far one of the most skillful bands in IN, as they create pure art. From progressive, quick time, full on psychedelic to an almost trance, ambient, space sound. While taking a smoke break the drummer for UTS and I were trying to specify Moser Wood's sound. We said it was Psychedelic, Ambient, Progressive, Jammy, Trance, Indie, Space Rock.

Moser Woods is a duo with one guy on keys, and another on drums. They had to be doing a lot to keep the energy alive. The key player Lance is one of the best I've ever seen. He can create a nice relaxing melody, or take it down into a crazy jam filled dead type song. The drummer Rick is definitely one of the best around. He is honestly probably the second best drummer I've ever seen play next to Carter Beauford of Dave Matthews Band. He was quick, on time, and never missed a beat. Together the pair made up a very skillful band. If you're into songs that make you think, are truly organic, and will give you chills.... Go see Moser Woods.
