JJ Grey & Mofro w/ Brandi Shearer

Mofro, the rock ’n’ roll brainchild of Jacksonville, Fla., storyteller JJ Grey, is more or less an extension of its bandleader’s innate melodic gifts. From humble, late-’90s beginnings in the swamplands of northern Florida, the blues-funk group quickly rose through word-of-mouth in the receptive jam band circuit. The band’s Fog City debut, 2001’s Blackwater, captured the soulful minimalism of Grey’s influences, while subsequent albums have broadened Mofro’s audience, allowing Grey to share stages with one of his icons, Booker T.
