The Black Moods have announced that they will be making their triumphant homecoming on December 9th with a special headlining set at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, AZ.

The group has been busy on the road promoting their new album, Into The Night, which arrived in June. "We are so excited to be back at Marquee Theater on December 9," exclaim the band. "There's nothing like playing one of the best theaters in AZ to our home crowd."

According to SRO, prior to the show, The Black Moods will head out for a weekend of shows across Southern California with Seattle 90's rockers Candlebox from October 26-28 before vocalist Josh Kennedy heads to fill in for Gin Blossoms guitarist Jesse Valenzuela at one of their upcoming shows in November.

Kennedy grew up in his hometown of Wheaton, MO (population of 502) listening and playing along to Gin Blossoms which led to him meeting vocalist Robin Wilson after attending a show in Springfield, MO.

Kennedy then moved to Arizona to pursue his music career where Wilson recruited him to work in the band's studio and later took out THE BLACK MOODS as openers for Gin Blossoms' winter 2019 tour.

"I have been a fan of Gin Blossoms since I was a kid in the Ozarks," shares Kennedy. "Their songwriting and sound blew me away and inspired me to write and find my path. I'm beyond grateful!"
