JJ GREY & MOFRO ANNOUNCE WINTER TOUR

JJ Grey & Mofro, whose new DVD/CD Brighter Days was called "compelling swamp-funk" by The New York Times, have announced dates for their Winter tour. The band will perform throughout the Midwest, East Coast and into Canada, with original Mofro guitarist Daryl Hance opening many of the shows.

Brighter Days is Grey's first-ever live DVD/CD. The two-disc set includes a full-length movie and a long-awaited live album. Directed by filmmaker/musician Spookie Daly (whose work has been aired on MTV Networks, Much Music and Fuse), the film intersperses riveting concert footage with the stunning beauty of Grey's north Florida home, the inspiration for so much of his music. The film also follows Grey and company into the studio and features band interviews along with insightful commentary from Grey and others, recalling the format of classic "rockumentaries." The accompanying CD captures almost eighty minutes of crowd favorites taken from the night's performances.
