Summer Free Concerts: ALO
August 9 @ 5:30 pm - 10:00 pm
ALO, short for Animal Liberation Orchestra, believes music liberates the inner animal. Zach Gill, Dan “Lebo” Lebowitz, and Steve Adams formed the trio as pre-teens in Saratoga, California, bonding over their shared passion for music.
Their musical journey began in junior high when they assembled a band for their eighth-grade talent show. Zach recalls the challenges of being an emerging artist during adolescence, while Lebo describes how music provided them with identity and direction during their formative years.
Over the past twenty-five years, ALO has evolved into a cohesive unit, with the addition of drummer Ezra Lipp. They’ve reached new heights with their latest album, a testament to their enduring friendship and musical mastery.
Having collaborated with luminaries like Phil Lesh and Jack Johnson, ALO’s magic truly shines when they perform together. Their genre-defying sound, described as “jam-pop,” blends meticulously crafted compositions with improvisational flair, showcasing their telepathic connection and years of shared experience.
Their latest album, “Silver Saturdays,” reflects on their journey so far and anticipates the road ahead. Join ALO for a musical adventure filled with intention, momentum, and the wisdom gained from a quarter-century of collaboration.
