Bob Moses

Canadian electronic duo Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance, both born in Vancouver, BC, attended St. George's School together but barely knew each other before reconnecting in New York City years later. Vallance had spent his early career making trance and progressive house music, earning releases on Ultra Records and crafting remixes for Sia before his early twenties. When Howie and Vallance reunited in New York, producer Francis Harris suggested the name Bob Moses — a nod to the influential New York urban planner. Their debut EP Hands to Hold arrived in late 2012, followed by Far from the Tree before they signed with Domino Records in 2014. Their debut album Days Gone By (2015) defined their approach: electronic music composed with the narrative ambition of a rock band, built around verses, choruses, and emotionally charged storytelling rather than DJ-friendly loops. A RAC remix of their track Tearing Me Up won the Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical. Their most recent album Blink was released in October 2025. Live performances incorporate both members using vocals, guitar, and electronic instrumentation simultaneously — a format that distinguishes their club sets from conventional DJ appearances and gives their Las Vegas dates at XS Nightclub, Encore Beach Club, Marquee, Hakkasan, and OMNIA a distinctly human, live-band quality.

Canadian duo Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance won a Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical for the RAC remix of their track 'Tearing Me Up' (2018). Their debut album Days Gone By (2015) on Domino Records established electronic music composed with rock-band narrative ambition — a Grammy-recognized approach sustained across their 2025 album Blink. Jimmy Vallance's early trance productions appeared on Ultra Records before Bob Moses formed; Tom Howie's live guitar and vocals have been central to every Bob Moses performance.

Bob Moses currently performs at XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club and Marquee Nightclub and Hakkasan and OMNIA Nightclub in Las Vegas, typically on Select dates. Their sets span Indie Electronic, delivering a sound that has earned them one of the most dedicated followings in the Las Vegas residency circuit.

Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance met as students at St. George's School in Vancouver, British Columbia, though they barely knew each other during their time there. They reconnected years later in New York City — Vallance had been building a production career under his own name, releasing trance and progressive house music and crafting remixes for Sia on Ultra Records before his mid-twenties. The reconnection with Howie led to the formation of Bob Moses, with the name suggested by producer Francis Harris as a nod to the influential New York urban planner Robert Moses. Their debut EP Hands to Hold arrived in late 2012, followed by Far from the Tree before they signed with Domino Records in 2014.

Their debut album Days Gone By (2015, Domino Records / RCA) defined the Bob Moses approach: electronic music composed with the narrative ambition of a rock band, built around verses, choruses, and emotionally charged storytelling rather than DJ-friendly loops designed for extended set blending. The album's critical reception established them as artists working at the intersection of indie rock and electronic music, a position that distinguished them from both the festival EDM mainstream and the underground club circuit. The track “Tearing Me Up,” remixed by RAC, won the Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards — a recognition that brought their work to audiences outside their existing fanbase and confirmed the quality of their songwriting as an object of attention independent of the live performance context.

The follow-up album Battle Lines (2018) continued the emotionally direct approach with stronger production infrastructure, reflecting Vallance's growing confidence as a studio producer. It was succeeded by The Witchmaker (2022) and then Blink, released in October 2025 — their most recent studio statement and the record that anchors their current Las Vegas residency appearances. Blink represents the matured version of their compositional voice: the tension between organic instrumental warmth and electronic production precision that has defined their catalog since 2012, applied now with the assurance of artists who have been developing their sound for over a decade. Their Las Vegas residency in 2026 — spanning XS Nightclub, Encore Beach Club, Marquee, Hakkasan, and OMNIA — allows them to present the Blink-era material live in the most financially and aesthetically demanding club environment in the world.

The range of Las Vegas venues where Bob Moses performs reflects the breadth of their appeal. Marquee at The Cosmopolitan and Hakkasan at MGM Grand are mainstream EDM environments where their live-band format and indie-electronic sound function as a programming counterpoint to the DJ-only lineup. XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club at Wynn are prestige environments where the premium guest demographic tends toward listeners who are more engaged with the performance as a craft object. OMNIA at Caesars Palace offers the visual spectacle of the kinetic chandelier as a backdrop for their more sonically expansive material. Across all five venues, the consistent audience response to Bob Moses is the same: the live vocal performance creates an emotional access point that most electronic music acts do not offer, and the room responds to it differently than it does to a solo DJ performance.

Bob Moses's sound: Live-electronic indie band performance in a nightclub context — Bob Moses sets combine Tom Howie's live vocals and guitar with Jimmy Vallance's production and keyboard work, creating a hybrid concert-club experience that contrasts sharply with conventional DJ appearances. Their Grammy-winning composition approach means each song carries genuine songwriting structure rather than loop-based club architecture, delivering emotional intimacy at nightclub volume inside Las Vegas's premium production infrastructure. At XS Nightclub, the professional sound systems and production infrastructure amplify every element of their performance — from the sub-bass to the high-end clarity.

Bob Moses typically takes the stage on Select dates. Their sets run 60 to 90 minutes and deliver the full Vegas production experience with professional sound, lighting, and crowd energy that you cannot find anywhere else.
