Saturday night, June 8, 2019, JJ Grey performed an Intimate performance for sponsors of Taste of Greater Gainesville at Heartwood Soundstage in Gainesville, FL.
I’m not sure WTF is going on with music these days but this guy is a hidden gem according to current music standards. JJ is unbelievable. Mainstream music is a joke. Open your eyes! This guy is a genius!
That's called an 'opinion' .. MY opinion is sorta' different .. as a matter of fact, you might say that it's the exact 'opposite' !! I think he's no better than any other You Tuber sitting at home, singing and playing guitar while streaming on YT or Facebook or some other social media platform. His song writing abilities are 'mediocre' at best. Nothing special that I can see or hear .. here. ~~
@@kenmurphy6792 If you don't like him, then why waste your time dissing him? Unless, you don't get his appeal. In which case you should spend your time doing better things. Or just look for Brighter Days.
Notice that all the comments are the same? That’s because JJ has that effect on your soul. You can’t help but be moved. A true artist. Had the pleasure to see him live several times. If you get the chance, I promise you’ll be glad you went.
As god as my witness, I never knew a white man could have this much soul! The man proves that music is colorless and transends all barriers. JJ, you're a god!
Saw him for the first time this year, in the summer..I considered it an honor and a privilege to be so blessed them. The band he has around him care every bit about the music as J.J.. Y'all just compliment each other. Totally infectious.
I'm so stuck on this guy, he is truly amazing. Every one of his songs - he just pours his soul out and sends it right through me. When I'm feeling down, I just pick a song of his and my soul is lifted. I live right here in Florida and one day I will make it to one of his concerts, I truly can't wait to see him in person - Thank you for sharing this video
Me and the wife found him a few months back. He came up on her feed, "This River", was playing. stopped me in my tracks, sat down, listened, and cried.
I love this everything about this, JJ, his music, his personality, his stage presence, everything about it. I must of watched this over a dozen times already in it's entirety, it never gets old
I had the pleasure of seeing JJ in Maryville TN in September this year. And I am headed to Panama City saturday to see him again. What a great artist and human being! I know the area he is from well and know that is the reason he is so good! Lots of talent in the middle of Florida that is untapped. Keep on rockin JJ & Mofro!!!
Don't ever stop Grey ... You got this! Take that long break, and love the family, love your roots, .... Then come back to us. We will wait. .. You are worthy !
Just discovered this awesome overly talented musician about a year ago. Immediately I could not get enough of his music. Authentic. Nothing plastic here. Just heart and soul. I bought 8 tickets within the first 10 minutes they went on sale for his show at the Norva in Norfolk Va. I still have the date cemented in my head. I was looking so forward to seeing him June 4th. Then covid the "plandemic" hits. I hope he makes it back to Va.
Not only is JJ Grey the most talented musician I've heard in decades, he just seems like a super cool guy. I'd love to go drinking with him - and I don't even drink that much any more.
Such a talented person. As I was told, he plays all the instruments on his albums, then brings in the band to learn how to play it live. That is impressive.
Been listening to JJ for 20 years since the Mofro days. There’s so much soul in North Florida. He translates this place into “swamp funk” . Glad to know he is preserving this place as it slowly gets paved over
Todays my birthday, woke up in hospital room, 58 yrs old, your the best I've ever seen. Wish my bday could've been watching you playing this in person. Love you jj
Don’t feel bad…. I found him in 2018 and have done everything I can to correct it! IE…. Southern Soul Assembly, Solo, and With MOFRO….. JJ feeds the soul the goodness to move through life with as little stress as possible!!!
I was turned on to JJGrey and the Mofro Band a little over a year ago. The musician who turned me on to him said he reminded him of Calvin Russell. Who was a Fantastic Musician. Did the Blues with a little bit of Country. Sadly Calvin passed away a couple of years ago. But Yeah, J J Grey is now my Favorite Musician.
There are no words to express how the music flows through you. Thank you for baring your soul! I believe the people who get up everyday and face their life and make it through the day without using are the brave fighters.
Amen on a Hidden Gem, this man is God given for sure...Awesome voice and Awesome lyrics, Love Love this man and really want to see him in person!...Houston Tx...BB
JJ grey is a serious bad ass musician that our country desperately needs... JJ should have a lumber yard heros music festival vendors could be crafts people from the lumber yard scraps that crafts people make their crafts there could be artists and musicians from the truck drivers to the office staff to the guys picking sticks and building lumber loads ....I knew some great musicians that worked with me at the yard one being a super quiet guy who was a closet bad ass musician his son was George Thorogood's guitar tech and Billy Gibbons tech as well...Soo much talent never gets heard JJ Use your voice and fortune to bring to light those like us lumber yard musicians men and women !!! JJ hats off my brother!!! I too am a musician just working the saw dust and playing music from the soul.
So Excited to see a recent performance on here! Have Loved JJ Grey for a long time! Got to see him in concert for the first time over this summer and was blown away!!! Just Amazing!!!
Working with JJ and Mofro at the Clay County Fair, was a dream for me. Half way through the set, I was able to be a fan. That doesn't happen often. Note... I was at the famous Freebird shows. All of them.
Discovered JJ back 5 yrs ago. Finally had the pleasure of seeing him in concert last year in September in Tallahassee FL. He's the real deal . Love some JJ!!!
Wish I could of been there. I have watched this numerous times to uplift my heart and spirit. How the hell did i not know of JJ until 2 months ago???? He also seems like such a sweet person not to mention his gift for story telling! XO
Absolutely, without a doubt, beautifully, brilliantly, insightfully and compassionately spot on! JJ Grey you never fail to deliver, God almighty you are so spot on.
Agree, L West! I live in Gainesville... He was right here, and I had no idea about his music way back in 2019... I'm going to catch up with a live show one of these days soon!!
You touch so many souls! You’ve got to feel it deep down within to put out such beauty!! The chills that run down the spine!! I feel every line a word ya say! You’re the G. O. A. T. @Jj Grey I love you 😘 when you coming to San Antonio Texas come down a little further south you’ll fit right in brotha
Great music, wonderfully humble artist, and as an extra bonus his stories remind me if my own youth. Can't wait to see him again. Jj, thanks for sharing your music with me!
Been liking this guy for a while... Glad to see he lost the suit! Has alot to say ......... JJ keep it real.... Might want to check out Akron OH... Goodyear Theater.... I will be there...
I’m not sure WTF is going on with music these days but this guy is a hidden gem according to current music standards. JJ is unbelievable. Mainstream music is a joke. Open your eyes! This guy is a genius!
I’m Right there witha Bro 👍
I third this. Dude's filling up my playlist. All the way over here in LA. Nothing mainstream compares to how this soul gets me moving.

@@kenmurphy6792 your opinion is trash lol
Everyone definitely has an opinion but yours, especially, has zero validity 🤷♂️
Been listening to my sweet JJ for 20 years.. if ya know you know.. local Florida girl spreading the word.. I love this!! ❤

this guy is the real deal - not to many musicians with this level of soul. I'm addicted to it
Me too
I hear you thanks for hearing it ... Just another white boy .dig your shit JJ and BB that's all I have to say fuck
Me too.
One of the best to ever do it. His live shows has everyone singing, moving and appreciating what an awesome human he is!
As god as my witness, I never knew a white man could have this much soul! The man proves that music is colorless and transends all barriers. JJ, you're a god!

Tripnfall Lynn I couldn’t agree more! Well said.
I feel you!! He's so awesome
Wow!
JJ GREY takes you to
extrodinary places...🎶😎
I feel the same. Well said.
I saw a comment about JJ touching your soul. He has a way of making a spirit want to soar.
I needed my JJ this morning... Didn't know I did, but he's funny that way.
Me and the wife found him a few months back. He came up on her feed, "This River", was playing. stopped me in my tracks, sat down, listened, and cried.
I love this everything about this, JJ, his music, his personality, his stage presence, everything about it. I must of watched this over a dozen times already in it's entirety, it never gets old
you know what i like about you jj you have a genuin smile and thats hard to find

same here
Damn! I hope you got to see him....
Not only is JJ Grey the most talented musician I've heard in decades, he just seems like a super cool guy. I'd love to go drinking with him - and I don't even drink that much any more.
Just 20 minutes of talking about nothing much left quite a mark. He just has a great way about himself and how he speaks to others.
Such a talented person. As I was told, he plays all the instruments on his albums, then brings in the band to learn how to play it live. That is impressive.
Oh yeah! I'd ❤LOVE to
hang w/JJ GREY and MOFRO.
They are more than welcome
to stay @ the ranch on the
river, in Central FL...
(SUSIE 😎) 🎤🎼🎸🎶🎷🎵
Been listening to JJ for 20 years since the Mofro days. There’s so much soul in North Florida. He translates this place into “swamp funk” . Glad to know he is preserving this place as it slowly gets paved over
He will be doing two nights in Charleston,at the windjammer!!! June's coming quick😉👍❤️
Just saw him at the clay county fair. Amazing amazing amazing...must see again
Todays my birthday, woke up in hospital room, 58 yrs old, your the best I've ever seen. Wish my bday could've been watching you playing this in person. Love you jj
I'm turning 50, and I can't believe I only found this guy a couple of years ago. I can't wait to see him live in August!
I also can't believe I just barely heard his music and Im stuck on it. He has an AMAZING voice
I've got you beat. I'm 60 and just heard about him a few months ago! (In Lochloosa WMA, of all places!) Where have i been????
Don’t feel bad…. I found him in 2018 and have done everything I can to correct it! IE…. Southern Soul Assembly, Solo, and With MOFRO…..
JJ feeds the soul the goodness to move through life with as little stress as possible!!!
Where
JJ for President 🍺
Thank you Aaron for turning me on to this music. You can't imagine what it has for me and my life. Your forever friend.

JJ Grey and his band takes the blues-soul sound to a whole other level...No albums recently so their previous tracks are a modern teaser!
