MoChester is a four-piece rock/pop group that formed in Rochester in 2001. Last year the quartet made some major moves with the release of its debut album, "Stop and Go," as well as the incorporation of its newest member, bass player Ben Overmyer. The band's name was derived from the members' devotion to the soulful grooves of Motown music and the city from which they hail. MoChester's moxie is built upon a foundation of rock, pop, alternative, and even a hint of reggae. The resulting sound has garnered comparisons to mainstream powerhouses such as O.A.R. and Incubus. The group has played at numerous well-known venues and events in Upstate New York and will be sharing a bill with Waylon Speed, Dirty Wings, and Sonarmail at the Bug Jar on Saturday.
MoChester plays Saturday, February 18 at 9 p.m. at Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $6-$8. 454-2966
