If you want to remember how music can make you feel...if you want to remember how your soul can guide you...if you just want to hear some damn good music, here it is.
JJ Grey and Mofro. http://www.mofro.net/home.shtml
Down home, Florida swamp, muddy-water blues-soul-gospel-funk.
This band, formerly known only as Mofro has evolved out of the muck of the "just another blues band" talent pool. There is nothing complicated about them, nothing new, nothing groundbreaking, but that's what makes them special. They have humbly embraced their roots and say "this is our music, this is where we come from...dig it or not."
In a rare interview/press conference backstage during last year's Wakarusa Music Festival, JJ Grey eloquently described his feeling about his music and the diversity of the live music scene:
“I don’t know much about genre. I don’t know about all that. I do know a little about people…being one and all. I think we’re all individuals, and I like it all.”
Coming off the successful release of their latest album, Country Ghetto, Mofro will once again run the gamut of the summer music festivals. Check them out while the weather is hot.
