NYC: JJ GREY & MOFRO AT THE IRIDIUM
JJ Grey and his band Mofro will perform at IRIDIUM JAZZ CLUB (1650 Broadway, NYC - 212-582-2121) on Thursday, June 6th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. Over the course of six albums and a decade of touring, JJ Grey's grimy blend of front porch soul and down-home storytelling has taken him around the world and back again. Beating the streets on nearly every continent, he and his band Mofro (Anthony Cole - drums, Art Edmaiston - saxophone, Anthony Farrell - organ, Dennis Marion - trumpet, Todd Smallie - bass, Andrew Trube - guitar) have sewn a continuous thread of laying-it-on-the-line shows that move folks to dance and at times to tears. April 2013 brings the release of JJ's sixth studio album, This River. Named for the St. John's River - a centering point for his childhood near Jacksonville, Florida - This River flows from freewheeling celebrations ("Florabama") to dark inner journeys ("Somebody Else"), from late night, beer-soaked testimonials ("Your Lady") to heartfelt ballads of the almost-forgotten ("The Ballad Of Larry Webb"), and ends with the title track and a singularly devastating vocal performance. There is a $25 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.copyright 2011-13 - See cabaret listings from all over the world at CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE - YOU ARE WELCOME TO POST YOUR COMMENTS BELOW
