JJ Grey & Mofro played to a sold out gig in London last night before their tour continues through Europe with sadly no other gigs planned for the UK.
Support was Marc Broussard a bluesman from Louisiana who treated us to eighty minutes of superb blues and soul with his voice and fine acoustic guitar playing. Some of JJ’s band joined him for the last few numbers. This tour looks like being one hell of a party!
JJ Grey & Mofro filled the air with their southern blues, soul and funky rock which, really is stuck in the seventies but still feels so fresh in 2015. They are a tight seven piece band well used to playing together and you could see they were having as good a time as the audience. That feelgood factor was infectious.
Their new album Ol’ Glory was released a few weeks ago. (our review is here) and this took the lion's share of a lengthy set.
JJ says “slow your life down by paying attention, you will be more creative”. That’s a good message to take away! “thankyawl” he said in appreciation “thankyawl to you to” we thought.
We need to look out for their return to the UK and hope we won’t have to wait too long!
