Soooo very happy to have finally gotten the opportunity to see y’all this year at St Augustine amphitheater. ❤❤

[@venittabrown1958]

2023 I am just hearing this song I was at a bar on the video machine and I heard this song I had to Google it. This man tho

[@tjbethlehem6162]

I saw JJ Grey and MoFro at the 9:30 Club in Northwest Washington DC,very small venue,rough neighborhood. Around Christmas time in 2017. My boss bought the tickets,we were traveling for work,he was from Ocala Florida,I from Northern California. My boss just smiled all the way to the show in the taxi,he knew. I've seen upwards of 175 shows over the years,so he knew how much I appreciated good music. To this day,I don't think I'll ever see someone put as much energy, passion,soul and everything of his very being into the music he's playing not 25' from you. I stood in front of the stage for the entire show completely awed and with the hair on my neck standing straight up,those of you out there who know the feeling,just simply know.

[@DelightfulNanotechnology-sf7kh]

Thanks to KZbin tube. I hit related 1 day. I want some other music. I'm up with. And this brother right here pulled up.But i'm glad he did

[@reneedalley8773]

JJ I absolutely love the feeling you and the Mofro band express in your music. I am 62 and have had seizures for 25 yrs. I can't be around groups of people because it makes them worse. I basically don't go anywhere. My neurologist told me yesterday that I can't go to church anymore because of the seizures the emotions I get there causes them to come on. I listen to your music and others loud so I feel like I'm there. I even put my Bowes speaker on me so I can feel the vibrations. Just wanted to let you know how you touch so many of us who can't leave home. You make us feel like we are getting a private concert!! Thank you!! Can't wait to hear more and keep on with the harmonica!! I play that instrument and enjoy it very much!! RD

[@stoneyroney]

I have been going to see these cats. Since the late 90s .. I just them a week and hf ago and He crushed like he always does.. I have seen hundreds of concerts in and all the bands. But noneof them have that real Southern rock bluesy gospel soul thing happening. JJ takes all the great elements of southern music and injects them Into his songs. I just saw them for the 15 -20th time a we l and a half ago nn Little Rock in smallest venue. I have ever seen them in . JJ and the boys crushed live. Like they always do

[@ragincajun82881]

Kick my day off everyday with this song a doobie and a cup of coffee and hey y'all it works. Every now and then you find one that you feel in your bones

[@jimyost8678]

Never heard of J.J.Grey and Mofro until last summer (2021). I pray that Spyglass Winery will have them again in Pennsylvania. Absolutely fantastic. The energy is amazing. Can't wait to see the fellas again. Would love to shake everyone's hand in the band and on the crew.

[@stoneyroney]

I do the very same thing.. except it's usually bong rips, fans, and coffee.. lol. ✌️🤟.. I just saw them like a week and am half ago on some killer shrooms and like 130 mgs of edibles.. rockey ass off. Like always do at their show off

If only.... America could emulate him!

[@bobmaverick5160]

After finding JJ and Mofro via Marc Broussard on you tube, I feel I have been living on another planet or in a cave. Such a talent that I had never heard before. What a "real authentic voice with so much power and soul. I hear a mix or blend of Joe Cocker and Darius Rucker. A voice that demands listening to and his song writing is as good as his voice.

[@janie5337]

I just heard them for the first time ever 30/12/2019!! Instantly in love!...I truly must be in middle earth! lol x

[@ChiliDawg68]

You should see them live it’s even better, seen JJ twice already and going to see him tomorrow night in Bloomington Illinois, I won’t be able to sleep tonight!

[@edcasper7524]

SS Wonderful Hell yea. I literally stumbled upon this man at a spookstock festival near St. Louis in 2007. Was called mofro and this song was playing. Fell in love. Have seen him soooo many times now since then. I love this shit for life.

I'm almost 2 years in, he was the headliner at a concert that I went to for the openers(Marc Broussard and Jonny Lang)...was going to leave before he came on because I had to work the next morning and it was 100 degrees out, but being a music Lover I thought I'd listen to a couple of songs, needless to say I was really tired at work the next morning...haha

Was turned on this song about a year ago. Fell in love the very first time I heard it. There are some songs that stand above the rest. Lochloosa is and will always be one of my all time favorites.

[@dwaynebryant2355]

Got to see this group as MOFRO play in a small honey hole of music called Stella blue. More unbelievable nights there than I still have problems trying to decide who to thank. All time favorite Tina Weymouth of the talking heads and her band called the TOM TOM CLUB with Benny Worrell. Unfucking believable time

[@garydefoe4137]

If we can do this together oh yeah it will be brighter days in future ❤❤❤

[@TomAndrews-gg3ch]

I stumbled over this guy a couple of years ago and I can't believe that he's not big mainstream popular. The next Springsteen in my opinion.

[@johnjohnston4672]

Springsteen was way overrated just like the Beatles

[@mustangsally1058]

From what I've read he's been around for a long time and has quite a following so it's beyond me that I hadn't heard of him till the end of last year and was instantly hooked. I grew up with the Blues all around me due to my oldest brother and grew up listening to soul and rock n roll. I just don't get how he's managed to stay hidden all this time. Lol. But yeah, I see him as bigger than Springsteen by far. This guy is the real deal and never have heard a white boy that could sing the blues like this guy can, other than the friend that turned on to JJ.

[@MrBigShotFancyPants]

Springsteen?😅 Maybe you're from New Jersey area.. Etta James, Warren Haynes, soulful... Bruce ain't on the list. He is on many lists for sure, just not this list. To be certain, I'm not knocking Bruce Springsteen, he's just not on this list.
