JJ Grey & Mofro

With a full band sound that pulls upon the strengths of the group's horn section, JJ Grey & Mofro put its stamp on modern soul/blues music with a distinctly modern approach to erstwhile grooves. Formed in Florida in the late 1990s, the band has experimented with a number of music styles including Southern rock, R&B and funk before landing on a easily accessible style that has won the group fans from across the country. JJ Grey & Mofro released its first two records, starting with its 2001 debut Blackwater, with Fog City Records before switching to the Alligator label and releasing a string of records including 2011's Brighter Days.
