Jackson Hole is a day before my birthday, so we're going to try real hard and swing that one.

set on Sunday was nice, but Memphis weather was horrendous.

tornado sirens interrupted JJ about 2/3 of the way through. rain fell, but not too heavy.

my sister got her first Mofro live experience, so all-in-all a good time.

In his 2nd interview taped with BBC2 Music while in the UK recently, JJ talks with Paul Jones about everything from the origins of the band to what influences his songwriting and more. This will be available for listening for only the next 6 days. (Slide ahead to the 30 min mark for the interview)

Finally getting my chance to see JJ Grey & Mofro. Opening for Jonny Lang here in SLC 3 days before my birthday at a beautiful outdoor concert venue/botanical garden.

Excellent thing to look forward to this summer.

Even though he's an opener and will most likely have a shortened set, I'm still very excited for the show.

Killer album. What's you favorite? Mine is probably Lochloosa, but lately I've been digging Georgia Warhorse a lot!

And I've said it once, but I'll say it again - so damn jealous that you get to see them in August! I hope they make their way back to Tallahassee in the fall

I really like Orange Blossoms, Georgia Warhorse and Blackwater.

But seriously, I feel that all their albums are great. Normally when I listen to em, I just hit shuffle on all JJ Grey & Mofro.

couldn't agree with you more - I think the only reason why Georgia Warhorse is on top for me now, is because it's newer/fresher

JJ GREY & MOFRO ANNOUNCE UK TOUR DATES!


Multi-instrumentalist/vocalist/songwriter JJ Grey and his band Mofro have announced dates for a tour of the UK. The 5-night run will be from May 9-14. Grey is coming off a wildly successful solo tour and, prior to that, the most successful full band U.S. tour of Grey's career.

Grey's latest album, Georgia Warhorse, which came out on CD in August, 2010, has just been issued on 180-gram vinyl. MOJO declared, "JJ breaks out with this album for Alligator. Georgia Warhorse makes an immediate impact with every track dipping back into the swamp for inspiration." UNCUT said, "With a voice as tough and gritty as the lumberyard he used to work in, Grey's take on Southern boogie, swamp rock, soul and Rhythm & Blues is proudly old fashioned with echoes of Tony Joe White. Superb". Grey has been featured on BBC Radio 2 (Bob Harris and Paul Jones) and in Q, Guitarist, Total Guitar, Classic Rock and many other UK publications.

Great interview, thanks for sharing. These guys are easily becoming one of my favorite bands.

Wonder when they'll release another record... :think:
