Roger McNamee may be more famous as a tech investor and author of "The New Normal" than as a guitar player, but that could be changing. For years he's had a jam-band called the Flying Other Brothers as a sideline to his investment work at Integral Capital, Silver Lake Partners and Elevation Partners. They played at various tech conferences and corporate events.

For years he’s had a jam-band called the Flying Other Brothers as a sideline to his investment work at Integral Capital, Silver Lake Partners and Elevation Partners. They played at various tech conferences and corporate events. Now that band has morphed into a new band called Moonalice, which is playing around the bay area this labor day weekend and touring across the US this fall. The band includes all-star players G.E. Smith (former bandleader from Saturday Night Live), Jack Casady, Barry Sless, Pete Sears, Jimmy Sanchez and Roger’s wife Ann McNamee. I had the pleasure of seeing Moonalice on Friday at Moe’s Alley in Santa Cruz and they did a great job on some original songs as well as well-known and loved cover versions of songs from the Dead, Bob Dylan, Marshal Crenshaw and others. You can read more about Moonalice on my other blog www.guitarvibe.com. They’re playing on September 14th at the Hyde Street Pier as part of MSNBC’s power lunch and on the 25th at Union Square.
