JJ Grey and Mofro bring backwater blues to KC tonight

There’s nothing better to chase away winter chill than a hot, Southern batch of blues jams. Here’s what Niki D’Andreas wrote about JJ Grey and Mofro, who play tonight at Knuckleheads:

Forget landlocked back porches — Mofro makes whiskey-drenched, pontoon-deck music that boogies down murky swamp waters. Main Mofro man JJ Grey grew up around Jacksonville, Florida, which explains the backwoods beats and woozy harmonica that swagger through many of his songs like a drunken uncle at a family reunion.
