Touting their first new album in nearly a decade, Olustee, JJ Grey & Mofro are hitting the road. The band’s next stop? House of Blues, alongside supporting act and local Americana power couple Harber Wynn.
For those unfamiliar with JJ Grey, this Jacksonville-based artist creates music summoning up his own experiences living in the swamplands of North Florida. The band’s raucous blend of soul, funk, gospel, folk and rock has netted them a wide audience over the past 20 years on the road.
Says Grey of his process: “The best songs I’ve ever written, I never wrote. They wrote themselves. The best show I ever played, played itself and had little to do with me or talent. To me, those things come from the power of an honest moment, and I guess I’m trying to live in that power and not force life to cough up what I want.” Get ready for more than a few honest moments Friday.
6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26, House of Blues, Disney Springs, Lake Buena Vista, orlando.houseofblues.com, $62.
