Meet the band

The Moves Collective are a funk heavy ameridelic jamband based in Ocean Beach, California. They have proven to turn heads by touring hard and sharing clubs, festival stages and amphitheaters all over the country with musical greats like Leftover Salmon, Hot Buttered Rum, Fruition, Midnight North, Melvin Seals and JGB, The Dustbowl Revival, Joe Marcinek Band among many more. Founded back in 2014, The Moves quickly developed a reputation for timeless songwriting, high energy shows, exciting collaborations and constant touring (hucking). The band strives to remind everyone to ‘Move in the Moment’ through improvisation; sharing their unique stories, songs and experiences each night with each crowd. The band’s music creates a synergistic environment between the audience where musical risk, exploration and celebration thrives.

With notable nominations in both 2016 and 2018 – TMC took home an award for the San Diego Music Awards with ‘Best Americana act in 2017.
