JJ Grey & Mofro

From his early days playing cover music behind chicken wire at a westside Jacksonville juke joint while still working at a lumberyard, to playing sold-out shows at some of the largest venues and music festivals in the world, JJ Grey has always delivered his soul-honest truths. Since his first album, “Blackwater,” back in 2001, Grey has been releasing deeply moving, masterfully written, funkified rock and front-porch southern soul music.

Now, with “Olustee” – his 10th album and first in eight years – and the first he has self-produced – Grey is back, singing his personal stories with universal themes of redemption, rebirth, hard luck and inner peace.
