JJ Grey & Mofro opened for Jimmy Vaughn and played an excellent set. The band sounded great and and the crowd turned out early to support these blues greats.

These guys hail from Jacksonville, Florida and have been impressing fans across the nation at many of the major festivals.

Grey first coined his blend of rhythm and blues, soul and funky rock and roll as “Mofro Magic” in 1997, based on the continuous southern slang being thrown around at a lumberyard in Jacksonville, Florida (JJ’s hometown) where he worked. According to his bio on the band’s website, Grey comes from a long tradition of Southern storytellers, and his songs often use the loss of his natural surroundings and the marginalization of the Southern culture he grew up in as metaphors in his lyrics.
