JJ Grey & Mofro is a band that encapsulates the spirit of the American South, blending blues, funk, soul, and rock into a hearty musical gumbo that is as authentic as it is enchanting. Fronted by singer-songwriter JJ Grey, a native of Jacksonville, Florida, the band's music is steeped in the traditions of the region, with storytelling and regional identity forming the backbone of their lyrical content. JJ Grey's deeply soulful voice and magnetic stage presence have been the driving forces behind the band's growing fan base since its formation in the late 1990s.

The band's journey began with the release of "Blackwater" in 2001, an album that introduced the world to their swampy blend of front-porch storytelling and gritty grooves. Over the years, JJ Grey & Mofro have consistently honed their craft, with albums like "Lochloosa," "Country Ghetto," and "Orange Blossoms" further solidifying their place in the Southern music landscape. Their work resonates with a sense of place and timelessness that is increasingly rare in contemporary music. With later releases such as "Georgia Warhorse," the introspective "This River," and the powerful "Ol' Glory," JJ Grey & Mofro have expanded their reach, while remaining true to their roots. On stage with albums like "Brighter Days (Live)," they showcase an energetic and impassioned performance style that turns new listeners into dedicated fans, as Grey's evocative tales and the band's soul-shaking music create a bond that transcends the ordinary concert experience.
