Moonalice take the day after Thanksgiving at Felton Music Hall

Roger McNamee's San Francisco-style psychedelic band returns to the Highway 9 room on Friday, Nov. 27, with tickets around $20.

There are worse ways to walk off a Thanksgiving dinner than a drive up Highway 9 into the redwoods. Moonalice play Felton Music Hall on Friday, Nov. 27, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $19.80 to $22 through Prekindle, and the date, announced Oct. 16, also appears on the band's own tour page.

Moonalice and this building know each other. The band's store sells a poster from its Jan. 2, 2026 show at Felton Music Hall, and its tour archive lists a January 2020 date here by the Doobie Decibel System Quartet. A Black Friday return in a 400-capacity room is the kind of booking that gets made because it has worked before.

If you have not crossed paths with them, Moonalice are a rock band formed from members of the Flying Other Brothers and touring since May 2007. The group is led by Roger McNamee, the investor and author who co-founded Elevation Partners with U2's Bono. As Rolling Stone told it, it was T Bone Burnett who approached McNamee about building a new band in the spirit of the San Francisco psychedelic era, and Burnett produced the 2009 self-titled debut, recorded with Barry Sless and Pete Sears.

The band also has an unusual place in music-business history. Its song "It's 4:20 Somewhere" became, by the band's account, the first song by an act without a label to pass a million direct-from-artist downloads from its own servers, and in 2012 the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame acquired the song's digital logs for its library and archives. Since 2022 they have been with Nettwerk Music Group. Folk, rock and jam band are the listed genres.

The room fits the music. Felton Music Hall, at 6275 Highway 9, took over the building that was home to Don Quixote's International Music Hall. Good Times reported on the plan when Ineffable Music bought it, with Thomas Cussins as president and Collie Buddz and Citizen Cope among the owners, and said the owners wanted to keep the feel of the old place.

One practical note from the venue's FAQ: since May 1, 2026, the box office and bars are cashless, so bring a card. Cash still works for food.

Thanksgiving weekend fills up fast with family obligations, so pick your night now. Eat Thursday, rest Friday afternoon, and save the evening for a night in the redwoods.
