Mofro is not, as I have long thought, the name of some hippie dude who plays music with JJ Grey. Turns out Mofro is the name of Grey’s backing band. I like it my way better, but the act’s blossoming fanbase doesn’t seem to care one way or the other. Grey works Southern blues, roots rock and liberal jams into his sound and comes out the other side sounding like an amped-up Allman Brothers Band. Grey hails from the South but has chosen Knuckleheads as the venue to celebrate the release of his first live DVD/CD,
Brighter Days.
