Now too popular to rock stages like Skipper’s, JJ Grey’s New Year’s Eve show in St. Petersburg is starting to feel like a tradition.
The North Florida songwriter and swamp blues-soul favorite is back at Jannus next Friday where Orlando-based blues veteran Eugene Snowden opens.
The band hasn’t released a proper LP since 2015’s Ol’ Glory, but the Grey’s brand of uniquely-Floridian rock and roll is revered in the Sunshine State not just for its humid, hot and heavy aesthetic but for its unending devotion to the preservation of the state’s wild lands which Grey has been watching disappear since the release of Mofro’s 2001 debut Blackwater.
Have a ho cake for me, y’all.
