JJ Grey & Mofro

It may have been the impending departure of the Blues Cruise to Jamaica, or the family of blues buds that preceded him to the stage..but JJ Gray and his mighty Mofro were a powerful hard hitting performance a week ago. Wish I could have boarded that cruise.

I ve been going to JJ shows for 11 years and they just get better and better. It was a first show for 3 of my 4 friends that went and they absolutely loved it.

I have been a JJ Grey fan for a few years now but had not seen them live. They did not disappoint! The professionalism was outstanding. I liked that the band were dressed up, in jackets/suits, and JJ was in a suit. Thought this added a nice touch, something different from most bands. The House of Blues was the perfect venue that offered that up close and personal experience. You felt like you got a personal concert! This is an awesome band and highly recommend seeing them in person to everyone who likes the blues!!

Other than JJ's disapointment in how loud his fans were, it was great. I think he could have treated the issue with more tact. However, he is a wonderfully talented musician and entertainer. His songs are great and deep. The band was amazing! I was very happy to see Todd Smallie, a great Atlanta talent, and every single band member was exceptional!

JJ Grey and MoFro were as awesome as ever! its my 5th time seeing them and they are on my list as favorites....

JJ and Mofro are Stars. Soon i'll be able to say i saw jj and mofro at the small culture room. Wish they were at wanee this year,but i hear there up to something that week.

Outstanding show. They were super energetic and really put on a great show.

The opening act sucked and just went on too long ! My girlfriend and I were so disappointed we left before JJ Frey came on. Opening act should have done 2-3 max and then straight to JJ Frey, come on guys, i looked around and saw how bored 90% of the people were. Never goin back again, fooy good bye

This band rocks! Saw the show on Jan 14th at the Culture Room in Ft. Lauderdale. LOVED IT!!! Their style is bluesy & jazzy with a little southern rock. JJ Grey is one talented and sexy guy! Loved the drummer & the horns. You could tell they were all having fun - the entire band was smiling the whole time! This was our fist time at this venue. It was quaint and the acoustics were good. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend JJ Grey & Mofro... you'll love them!

From the first beat to the last note, the show was hot, and the band was tight. It isn't possible to overstate how good this band is live, and it all starts with Grey's "conducting." He sets a tone that seems to demand attention from both the band and audience, and there isn't a time where all parties involved aren't having a great time.

JJ Grey & Mofro took the stage at the Culture room and proceeded to treat everyone there to a fantastic rock n roll show. From the beginning with Georgia Warhorse the show was unstoppable with fun, dancing, and great musicianship. 3 hours later I walked out of the Culture Room really happy that I was at that show!!!

I attend lots of concerts and this was absolutely the best show I've seen in years. The musicians are fantastic, the song writing is some of the best around, the sound quality at the venue was good. I didn't see anyone there that wasn't absolutely glad they went.

They played for two hours at a totally cool venue, the culture room. Got up front, they played all the best songs. Was my 2nd time seeing them. Very awesome show.

The show was amazing. Can't wait for them to come back!

The concert was good. They played a lot of new tunes, which were really good. They have great energy and put on an amazing show. The singer is so soulful. Culture Room is always a great place to see a show because it is so intimate.

These guys are awesome, the combo of southern style rock and some brass makes for an excellent experience. I highly recommend seeing a show. It's a real treat, they unexpectedly blow your face off with the trumpet and the sax! The solos are sick, everyone in the band is super talented. Go see them.

I enjoyed the band very much! We stood right in front seeing everything and everyone! I enjoyed how distinct each instrument sounded and resonated with the rest of the music!

Amazing show. High energy, good vibes, excellent show. JJ Grey is charismatic and his band has soul. Great show, will go again when they come back.

Well, they had everything. Jazz, blues, southern rock, soul, southern baptist, and good ol' rock-n-roll. The warm-up band in Chicago was much better though. The sound in Indy was much better. Absolutely will be there next year as well! About the only thing better would be the Dave Mathews Band.

Show was great! I've only been to see them twice but I am completely hooked! The crowds have been great and the band gives the energy back 10 fold!!!

One of the best live bands I have ever seen and I have seen alot!

Saw JJ Grey at the ARk in ann Arbor MI - great 400 seat venue and a perfect place to see Jj grey. he's very engaging on stage, has a great band and can really sound soulful.....

I have seen JJ Grey play about 20 times in three different states, and I have never been disappointed. He plays and sings his heart out every time...he never fails to create an energy and a vibe that is addictive. Thanks, JJ!!

Awesome performance. One of a lifetime. Great venue. Will definitely be back soon.

JJ Grey was amazing. Best show I have been to this year!!!!

I am 46 years old and have been seeing live music my whole life. This was by far the best single night of live music I've ever experienced. The level of talent for seven musicians on one stage simply cannot be matched. I hope JJ Grey and Mofro go on to great things, but if not, I hope they continue to play the Ark and Ann Arbor whenever they can. I'll be there.

I saw JJ gray & Mofro open for Buddy Guy earlier this summer. They were awesome. They seemed like a odd pairing with Buddy Guy, but buy the end of there set they got the whole house rocking. First time in a while I was hoping for a encore of a opening act. The opportunity came at the Intersection. Headliners for their new album: "Georgia Warhorse", they put on a killer show. They were even better the second time! If your sick of all the pop rock and "alternative" music that has flood the market, go see this band or get buy one of their albums. These guys put the "feel good" back into music, and are produce a timeless sound of real rock and roll. The Albums sound great, and they sound even better live. Glad to be a fan, hope to see them again soon! If they are headed your way, go see this band.

This show was such a success! Ryan Montbleau Band sounds great live! Their performance is outstanding. Their personalities are what really made the show, not just their music. You can't go wrong with Ryan Montbleau Band if you enjoy their music, it is a must.

Unreal............................................

Absolutely one of the best shows I've seen! The band was tight, the songs were great, and the way JJ Grey used the crowd's energy was amazing. If you only know one of their songs this is still a MUST see show!

JJ Grey was hot and Mofro was great. They were unforgettable... I even bought a shirt and a cd. The shirt is very comfortable material and the whole new cd is sweet! The band that warmed up for them was pretty good too, Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights.

The venue was a perfect place to see them. You get the chance to be up close and the sound was great. Anyone who hasn't seen JJ Grey & Mofro live need too!

this is the second time I have seen JJG and MF, and his performance was great. But as concert goers know, there is more to the show experience. First, the fact that there was THREE HOURS OF OPENING ACTS, and for a Sunday night he did not come on until 10:15 is unneeded and again inconsiderate of his fans. the third "extended jam" closing songs by emerging acts was frankly needed and took away from the listening experience. And for the second time, he refused to play one or some of his biggest hits- which has made him more main stream. I love the JG center and will love to see more acts there but seriously------- 3 hours is worse than the old days at the SPORTATORIUM in hollywood. I loved the performance, but the reasons above ruined the fun and served as a distraction. I ask that JJ is more considerate of his fans time on a Sunday night.

JJ Grey was excellent. Jannus Live, not so much. Crowded, Noisy.

What a great line-up... it just kept getting better. Bobby Lee Rodgers, Markus King, North Mississippi Allstars, and of course JJ Grey and Mofro. They all played terrifically and the venue is one of my favorites. The sound was not very good until it started to get dialed in with North Mississippi Allstars and then it sounded great for Mofro. Still a great night!

Jannus Landing is a great standing room only venue. Great sound and light show, sold out performance by JJ Grey and Mofro !!

JJ Grey and Mofro are awesome well as all the other bands that were there as well. Hope to have them all back together next year.

Great concert,fun place. It's ashame that there is no seating.

Awesome! JJ Grey and Mofro brought it to the stage at Jannus Live in St. Petersburg for the Blackwater Sol Revue. Supporting acts of North Mississippi Allstars, Marcus King Band and Boobie Lee Rodgers Trio added to the depth of the music.

It was a night to remember. Great concert - best ever! Top notch performer. Would come to see him at the Taft every time he comes back. He works hard but seems to love what he does. He has a great band and the band that came on first was better than I could have imagine..

I ve seen JJ 4 times and this was hands down the best show I ve seen. He covered all the classics. They are so talented, the entire band.

Had such a fun time. The energy was fabulous and the entire show was great.

We had been waiting a long time to finally see JJ Grey, and he did not disappoint! JJ Grey gives lots of positive energy during the show, just makes you feel good to be ALIVE! Great Band! Highly recommend this talent. The Venue was impressive. Sound was crisp and clear, Lots of places to buy beer, etc... Lots of bathrooms. I got beer three times, bathroom a few times and NEVER had to wait in line for either. I LOVE the Taft! Will be back in March to see J Roddy Walston and the Business, and cannot wait! My only small complaint were the seats. I would prefer not to have any for a show like JJ Grey. You have to get up and dance! Hard to move around with seats everywhere. Walston and the business will be in the ballroom with SRO, so I'm REALLY looking forward to that show!

Great show at a nice venue. You must see JJ Grey and Mofro live, and if you have, then you know what an outstanding performer/talent he is. The band was right there, missed the opening act, but still got more than my money's worth for the night. Drove 2.5 hours to see the concert, and would do it again in a heartbeat!

What a great show that JJ puts on. He and the band were fantastic on Saturday Jan 27th. One of the best voices I think Ive ever heard in concert. I would highly recommend seeing them live if you've never had the chance

Almost like going to church! I wish they would come through Cincinnati more often

JJ Grey was great however the seats in the venue are very tight and I m short person, only 5 7 .

Saw JJ Grey & Mohr at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival. Totally enjoyed them. I wish they would play in Grand Rapids. They all looked like they were having fun. I know I certainly did.

Absolutely awesome show, JJ Nailed it Also discovered anew band in the opening act, The Commonheart

These guys are amazing. Simply incredible. But the tickets!!!

An absolutely fabulous show as usual. I can't ay enough about how inspirational and uplifting of a show that JJ puts on for his audience. There is nothing out there that compares or that I would rather sit back and chill and listen to.

Soulful performance in an awesome theatre. First time at Taft and seeing JJ. Both highly recommended.

Simply awesome! Amazing performer. My first J.J. Grey event and I loved every second of it!

First time seeing these guys and wasn't disappointed. Great energy, and loved the gal on saxophone.

I can't wait to go see him again. BEST concert i have been to yet! What a great show!!

Great way to ring in the new year. Only problem it took Uber a while to get to location due to two lane road.

Every band, every song was superb! I will be going again next year and the year after and the year after ....

As the title says, the lineup was incredible. And the venue could not of been more beautiful. The seamless switching between band to band meant there was almost no delay between music. There was great food available and it was all for a great cause, Boys and Girls Club. Best music I've seen all year! Plan to seek out music events in this area because the waterfront downtown is so gorgeous and reasonable to stay.

Top 10 weather day. Then add the music. And WOW is all I can say. Each band just got better it was an unbelievable day. Sorry we had to reschedule due to Irma but man could not of asked for a better day thank you to all the bands that made it possible. Already looking forward to next yr

We had never been to this park before. It was delightful. The setup was excellent with the stages on either side. The music was great and, of course, JJ Grey was our draw and he certainly did not disappoint (but he never has with us, so....). I know the more often the Big Orange is run, the bigger it will get but please don't put it inside. The fresh air just makes this type of festival. More vendors will be nice. The ones that were there this year were interesting and fun and the food was nicely varied. Great job! Hope to see you next year.

Port Charlotte can be proud of this layback concert venue. Easy parking without having to walk a mile as with concerts in St Pete, and nice people staffing it. I was there for the whole thing, and when the very second act, Sean Chambers, turned out to be phenomenal I knew I was in for a great show. Tinsley Ellis got everyone up and dancing. North Mississippi Allstars were the best I've seen them with their new bass holding them together really well. A brilliant performance where I occasionally thought of them like a deep South Jimi Hendrix and his drummer. Denson's jazzy performance was as good as I've heard them. JJ Grey was better than I thought he would be from his YouTube clips. A soulful performance. Not up to the others though, and thought he should have switched places with N Mississippi Allstars.

Excellent show. JJ Grey & Mofro were awesome. All bands were excellent. Venue was beautiful and the event was well run.

I went to the Taft to see JJ Grey. The venue was great, very pretty, comfortable and small for a more cozy feel than a huge venue, for a better concert experience. JJ Grey was unbelievable! It was a great show! His opening act, which I had never heard before, was Commonheart. I became a new fan with the very first song. I will definitely go so both performers again everytime they come to Cincinnati.

One of if not THE best shows I've seen. JJ killed it!!! I actually made him laugh out loud by yelling Sexual Chocolate!!! I hope they come back again. Perfect venue to see them. Sound was perfect.

Thanks to Irma this show was rescheduled from September 9th at the Convention Center to a gorgeous day in November at Laishley Park by the river! The schedule change also added North Mississippi Allstars and Karl Denson's Tiny Universe!! NMA were good, but not their best performance. KDTU were the highlight of the evening! Tight performance and jammed the entire set! JJ Grey & Mofro were entertaining, but Karl killed it!

The 2nd Annual Big Orange Music Festival was a grand slam. Moving the concert to outdoors to Laishley Park on the banks on the Peace river with it's perfectly manicured lawn and clear cool sky was just icing on the cake. Please consider this the new venue moving forward every week-end before Thanksgiving... The food trucks and variety of choices including a killer black bean burger and hand cut fries was a big treat. The full bar along with a great beer selection ( although it would be nice if you could provide an IPA next year ) was better than most festivals. Having two full stages complete with lighting and effects is such a great concept. It's was cool each time the announcer asked us to do the "Big Orange Shuffle" as the bands rotated performing on the two stages and started right on time. Kudos to the organizers. And of course the line up of musical talent was the best I've heard in a long while. My personal fav's were the North Mississippi Allstars and of JJ Grey. My only wish is that JJ is the perennial headliner for the Festival because if he is, me and my buddies will attend every year. Good job to all those who worked so hard to pull this baby off. Please know we appreciate your hard work.

The show was fabulous. The venue beautiful. Mr security at the gate was extremely rude for no apparent reason. Yes, we want to be safe but a couple signs and s dividing rope would help. Manners still important. It s pitiful to see America falling to pieces.

First off....the first warm up band, Commonheart was Absolutely Amazing!!!!! Now.... JJ was doubly Amazing....all his hits were done spot on, just like his live DVD, Brighter Days... I m such a big fan of his now... Y all gotta check him and MOFRO out !!!

Best damn blues funk rock soul concert I ve ever been to. He played on til midnight . Hey Jude cover was a hit. HOB HOUSTON Best venue downtown. Check out his next show! The band Mofro was awesome

JJ and Mofro brought down the house. This guys has soul oozing from his lyrics. AWESOME SHOW!!

Amazing concert!! JJ and Mofro are so incredibly talented, he has an amazing voice. Great show, enthusiastic crowd, my husband and I loved it. This was our 3rd time seeing JJ and he never disappoints! Looking forward to seeing him again.

GREAT concert. All artists were exceptional. Awesoe air conditioned venue. Let's do this again next year. MUST HAVE JJ Grey & Mofro for sure.

JJ & the band played great and clearly had a good time. The crowd sang along with the classics and everyone had a blast!

Among the best concerts I've seen in years. JJ Grey brought the house down and blew off the roof. Way beyond my expectations. I've only been into his music about a year but I own every album. Seeing him live was moving. The music, the vibe of the crowd, the band grooving, WOW! Speaking of the band they were fantastic. As a musician I can appreciate solid performers and they did not disappoint. It was a magical night of groovin' boogie, funky beats and rocking' in the souther roots tradition. They went way beyond these labels but it's the best I can do to describe what was a memorable night of great music. Anyone who says today's music is crap needs to go see JJ Grey and & Mofro.

Such a great concert! We had seen JJ Grey last year with Mark Broussard but never with Mofro. Great band, JJ has a great soulful voice! My husband was a big fan already so these tickets were one of his Christmas gifts! I became a big fan too!

I have long wanted to see this group. Their music is fun, beautiful and just fantastic. It amazes me that I was able to see them at the Stone Pony. I do not understand how JJ Grey and Mofro are not plating venues like the Garden, but that is oh so much better for us. Thanks JJ for an awesome evening and for making the night everything I had hoped it would be. Keep on doing what you do. With deep gratitude.......Lauren.

I went to see Marc. I am now a fan of J.J., Anders, and Luther!

Amazing show again. Can't wait until they come back!!!

I had issues with some of the pushy ppl that you have to deal with everywhere you go, but, I handled it! Over all. I had a blast!! I look forward to the next event! Thank you! Flgirl

I've been going to their shows since I first saw them open for Ben Harper back about 10 years ago. The music has changed over the years but it always remains true to the original sound. This is my favorite band to see in concert. The energy is always there and the band truly seems to enjoy themselves. I haven't downloaded the River yet, but the songs they played at House of Blues were very promising!! Love you guys, keep on trucking!!

Awesome from start to finish. ALL KILLER NO FILLER! JJ fed off the unexpected energy of the crowd and reciprocated it right back down thru the music. Most acts sound worse live than on the record but these guys are better live! Was a fan before but am a true believer now. THIS IS REAL MUSIC - NO BUBBLE GUM OVERDUBBED BS HERE.Will definitely be back to see again. AMAZING! SWAMP FUNK FOREVER!!!!!

JJ Grey and Mofro were awesome. Each band member demonstrates amazing musicianship. They have fun while performing. Doesn't feel over-rehearsed and they don't rely on theatrics. Pure raw genius. Opening act Swamp Cabbage was awesome. Got to get their albums. Thumbs up to Southern Rock!

It was the first show on their "This River" tour. He said they didn't rehearse--hadn't even seen each other. You'd never know! The chemistry between the bandmates was totally entertaining. JJ was on fire! I had seen The Greyhounds (without JJ) & had seen JJ solo, but this was my first time seeing the band all together. All around awesome show!

Great show! JJ Grey and Mofro have big energy and great chemistry. The guitarist and sax player battled it out. JJ's singing is album quality. They are better live than i expected. I would have liked to here more older music. Lots of new mterial. House of Blues was a fun, intimate venue.

Ryan Montbleu opened with a good, but LONG set. I don't know if it was because I was wedged up front and didn't want to leave, but it seemed like he played for hours. He's a good songwriter, though, and has a great voice. JJ Grey and Mofro played a blistering set spanning over their entire catalog. Every one of them (especially JJ) looked like he was having an absolute blast, which is great to see in a band that tours relentlessly. Since it was their first time in Boston since the release of their latest album, Georgia Warhorse, they played almost half of that album, but made sure to sprinkle it in throughout the whole set to not bore anyone unfamiliar with it. JJ loved the audience's reception, and had us sing along in every song that a singalong was remotely possible for. Personal favorites included Ho Cake, Orange Blossoms, Lochloosa, and Slow Hot & Sweaty. The one song that I really wanted to hear but didn't was Dew Drops (or Lullaby), I was hoping for one of them during the encore but no dice. In the end, though, they played for more than two hours and completely wore me out! Awesome. Paradise looks great - a lot of construction was done over the summer months, which explains the lack of shows. The result is a much better flow, and a club that feels much larger, even though it was only expanded a little. Don't let the House of Blues take business away from this club, it's by far the best place in Boston for live music!

Concert and venue were awesome!! Great concert, great crowd!!

JJ is consistently energetic and knows how to connect to the crowd.

Anytime I can see JJ Grey I will be there. He is a wonderful musician and entertainer who always looks like he is doing what he loves. Further more anytime I can see anyone at Ponte Vedra Concert Hall I am there. I love the intimacy of the venue.

JJ Grey and Mofro are unbelievable. Great upbeat show! Seen JJ and company 5 times, never a disappointment. He should be on top of the charts!!

Gainesville native, now living in Ft Lauderdale. Been to Lochloosa, Orange Lake, Santa Fe, Ichetucknee (JJ's neck of the woods) you name 'em, 100 times or more- JJ Grey sings about my home I left 30 years ago, but still visit. I just discovered JJ half a year ago (where have I been?) with Sweetest Thing, then find he's coming to town! The stars are aligned, I'm pumped!!! Go to see him at Fillmore Miami Beach Feb 2018, and... was disappointed. He's wearing a suit and tie, the light show is out of control, and I turn to my wife and say "This is like if Pitbull did Southern/Gospel Blues Rock." The music was good, but the show was just waaay overproduced. Was it because it was Miami Beach, I wondered? Maybe, but I can't see changing the look and feel for one show. Don't hate on me for sharing, it wasn't bad, it's just that the production didn't fit the music. Opening were the North Mississippi Allstars and (21 year old) Marcus King Band, and because they were supporting acts, they didn't get the over the top light show, and it worked. Can't recommend both of them highly enough, check them out. I still love JJ, but man, his team has to turn down the show biz a bit. Me? I'll see ya at Cross Creek...

These guys represent the best in soul, funk, and blues with their hot licks, funky grooves and soulful lyrics. J.J. sings and plays his heart out. Mofro lays out southern soul music, gritty funk and juke joint pieces like you ve never heard. If these guys are playing anywhere remotely close to home....GO!!! You will not be disappointed.

Awesome show! On time performance, thank you. Please come back!!

JJ Grey was outstanding as usual. I cannot say enough good things about JJ and his fellow Mofro. A couple of the opening acts were a pleasant surprise and great to listen to also.

A well rounded lineup of blues from Chicago, New Orleans, Ashville NC & Jacksonville, FL all with their own flair of blues. All were GREAT and JJ Grey was Fabulous!!! Definately recommend

Having this show indoors was certainly different. I would have preferred it be outside but I understand the concerns with weather and all. The biggest problem was the beer lines. I would say I probably spent half of my time waiting in line...which was only twice. Mofro was great, first time seeing them. Thomas Wynn is a great band, have seen them before, but they had some serious sound/feedback issues going on. The highlight of the night was a band I'd never even heard of, the Fritz.

If.you.see one band this summer make damn sure it's The Record Company. Real.rock n roll real.artists and.exciting as they are unpretentious (so.far) Need to shake off the blues these guys are just the tonic

Kaleigh Baker opened the show with her Janis Joplin meets the girl next door, amazing voice, sexy sinister sister routine. Her band was hitting on all cylinders and she was on point, hitting all the notes and then some. Then JJ comes out looking like he's ready to party all night and boy did he. This was my first JJ show and I think I picked a good one. He's the real deal, Florida funkmeister, soul man extraordinaire. His band, Mofro are so talented and diverse in their arrangements that I was pleasantly stunned. They played for hours and never faltered. JJ was very personable and just real. I see why he has a devoted fanbase. He deserves it.

Great show from a great entertainer. He sings from his heart and soul. Great venue.

JJ Grey & Mofro always put on a great show ... engage the crowd, great mix of new and old music -- just love them!

Great show! We went to see JJ Grey & Mofro and Big Head Todd, but all three bands were great. A truly special night. The only issue we had was with the group of middle-aged children sitting behind us in row K, supposedly cousins of JJ Grey. Obnoxious and juvenile. I think the venue should stop selling alcohol at a certain point in the evening.
