JJ Grey & Mofro
Saturday ~ 3:30-4:30pm
This is JJ Grey's first visit to the Mountain Jam stage where he will bring us some down home soulful roots rock-n-roll from the swamps of Northern Florida.
JJ Grey and his band MOFRO have been thrilling audiences across the country as they exude rocking, funky, melodic, front porch realism in every song they play. JJ comes from a long tradition of Southern storytellers, and his songs oftentimes use the loss of his natural surroundings and the marginalization of the Southern culture he grew up in as a metaphor for universal truths. The band delivers his material with brilliant musicianship.
His songs will make you smell the cypress trees, feel the hot breeze, taste the ho-cakes, and remind you that home is where the heart is.
From gritty funk to juke joint romps to contemplative country soul to blistering rockers, JJ Grey & MOFRO will leave all at Mountain Jam wanting for more!
