The Lemon Twigs close out 2026 at Moe's Alley

The D'Addario brothers bring 'Look For Your Mind!' to a 300-cap Santa Cruz room on Wednesday, Dec. 30, their first local show since 2023.

Picture it: the night before New Year's Eve, three hundred people in a Santa Cruz club, the Lemon Twigs on stage. That's Dec. 30 at Moe's Alley.

The Lemon Twigs play Moe's Alley in Santa Cruz on Wednesday, Dec. 30, at 8 p.m., with Tchotchke opening. Tickets are through TicketWeb. It's their first show in the Santa Cruz and Monterey area since Dec. 9, 2023, when they played Felton Music Hall.

The brothers have a new record to show for the time away. *Look For Your Mind!*, the Lemon Twigs' sixth album, came out May 8 on Captured Tracks, per The Needle Drop. The lead single was "I Just Can't Get Over Losing You," and Brian D'Addario has said the record draws on the unsettling feeling of modern life, per Consequence. So under the harmonies, there's some unease.

They've spent the year carrying it around. The spring run started April 24 in Montreal and covered the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Ireland, and this fall took them through Spain, with dates in Barcelona, Santander, Seville and Valencia in October, per La Ganzúa. By the time they reach Santa Cruz at the end of December, these songs will have had most of a year on stage.

The room is the story here. Moe's Alley holds 300. Their 2023 visit was in Felton; this time they're in town, in a club small enough that you'll be close to the stage wherever you stand. The show is a folkYEAH presentation, per the ticket listing.

Tchotchke opens, so get there for the start.

These songs will have had most of a year on stage by the time they reach Santa Cruz.

The week between Christmas and New Year's is usually quiet. This year it has the Lemon Twigs in a 300-person room. Buy early and find your spot.
