Music Picks for Sunday, July 18

JJ Grey & Mofro w/ Amelia's Mechanics - Pourhouse (Funk/Indie)
JJ Grey & Mofro is one of the better funk/southern rock groups out there.... Based in Jacksonville, FL - these guys are in the midst of a national tour and Raleigh is fortunate to have them for a Sunday show.... Blending styles of Blues,Funk and Southern Rock, they seem to create a sound that takes the best of all for a sound that gets you going. Sounds like "Orange Blossoms" are widely played on mainstream radio and these guys are even better live... These guys remind me a lot of the Early Galactic or Radiators. It is really, really, great stuff - and you just gotta love the horns for the Funk sound....
As an added treat, Greensboro based Amelia's Mechanics are opening this great show... Their brand of Indie Rock/Folk Fusion is great and I've said this before - their vocal styles are a mix of Indigo Girls & Bjork. There are still tickets avail - doors open at 7 and the show starts at 8.... This will be a great night of music - get ready!
