(PR) Down home roots, rock and soul artist JJ Grey & his band MOFRO will perform live and host the 1st Annual Blackwater Sol Revue at the newly renovated St. Augustine Amphitheatre. This will be the first public show at the theatre since undergoing a $9 million upgrade. The other artists on the bill, hand selected by Grey, include three time Grammy Award winners Los Lobos, swamp funk legend Tony Joe White, Orlando-based soul-funk-blues sensations The Legendary JC's, sacred steel family ensemble The Lee Boys and acoustic tweeners by Willie Green and Will Conner .
According to Grey, the festival will be
one day and one night of great music by artists who possess a distinctly regional flavor, and who each sound like home in their own unique ways. This, in a place inhabited by a spoonful of old-school Spanish Menorcans, a dash of country fried Crackers, and a sprinkling of tourists from all over; all of that mixed in a low country boil of beach, sun and bikinis in the oldest town in America."
