Bob Moog Foundation honouring Keith Emerson
The Bob Moog Foundation will honour rock legend Keith Emerson at the 2026 NAMM Show.
The Foundation will host a Keith Emerson Moog Modular System reissue, one of five ever produced, in its NAMM booth, in commemoration of the tenth anniversary of Emerson’s passing. Various musicians and technologists will be demonstrating the modular throughout the three days. The Foundation will also present a TEC Tracks panel, Celebrating the Legacy of Keith Emerson, on Friday at 4pm.
Keith Emerson (November 1944 – March 2016) was an English keyboardist, songwriter, composer, and record producer. His masterful use of keyboards marked his work in The Nice in the late 1960s. After leaving The Nice in 1970, he became a founding member of Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP), one of the early progressive rock supergroups. Soon thereafter he acquired a large Moog modular synthesizer, which he continued to build upon. The synthesizer became a hallmark of his virtuoso performances.
