Lochloosa

Hot on the heels of Country Ghetto', the best-selling 2007 Alligator debut by JJ Grey & Mofro, comes the re-issue of their first two releases, credited solely as Mofro. These titles have been unavailable for some time and are highly sought-after by the band's devoted fan base (used copies have been listed for as much as $150 at Amazon), as well as by all the new fans they've won since 'Country Ghetto' came out. Despite being released on relatively low-profile indies, 2001's 'Blackwater' and 2004's 'Lochloosa' have both sold impressively.

Mofro are creators of a distinct musical mix they like to call "front porch soul." JJ Grey is a gifted singer / songwriter, whose Southern gothic vignettes play out over a dazzling display of fire-breathing R&B, swampy blues, aching soul and funky, Dixie-fried rock.

Grey and Mofro are wildly popular in their native Florida and throughout the Southeast, with interest growing worldwide. Their mushrooming audience is based in large part on a stellar live show that has earned them a fanatical national following. Since the release of 'Country Ghetto' in early 2007, they have toured the entire U.S. with over 60 headlining dates in 500-1500 seat clubs and theatres, as well as a number of high-profile festival appearances (New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Fest, High Sierra Music Festival, Wakarusa, Bele Chere and Milwaukee's Summerfest) and performances in support of The Allman Brothers and Widespread Panic. 'Country Ghetto' has received rave reviews in USA Today, Billboard, Guitar World, Paste, Harp, No Depression, Relix and a host of major market dailies, plus online from Jambase and Allmusic.
