Just received this interesting piece of information in my email:
Exclusive New Years Eve
JJ Grey and Mofro
Mark this on your calendar for New Years Eve, December 31st, JJ Grey and Mofro are confirmed for a traditional SyncLive.com New Years Bash at Freebird Live. Freebird is located at 200 North 1st Street, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250, and you can get tickets for the epic performance by going on http://www.freebirdlive.com or by calling the box office at (904) 246-2473.
I don't know if you are familiar with JJ Grey and Mofro (http://www.mofro.net), but they are one of the best live bands out there today. "Grey and Mofro fuse rock with plenty of soul and groove-heavy blues, and dirty, infectious funk. The deep and introspective lyrics are a breath of fresh air." -Relix Like Florida's state flower, the orange blossom, musician JJ Grey's songs are fascinating, beautiful, and complex. Both are products of the same ground: the rich, fertile and ancient soil of the Sunshine State. Born and raised just outside of Jacksonville, Florida, Grey comes from a long tradition of Southern musical storytellers and, like the best of the great Southern writers, he fills his songs with details that are at once vivid and personal, political and universal. His multi-textured music overflows with dynamic rhythms and thought-provoking lyrics. From raw funk to deep soul, blues and rock, JJ and his band Mofro deliver devastating live and recorded performances. Debuting in 2001 with BLACKWATER, following up in 2004 with LOCHLOOSA (both albums reissued by Alligator in 2007), Grey steadily built an intensely loyal following. In 2007, with his first Alligator release, COUNTRY GHETTO, Grey reached an even larger audience, doubling both his album sales and his concert attendance. Now, with his new album, ORANGE BLOSSOMS, JJ Grey takes another giant step forward.
They will be webcasting their show exclusively on New Year's Eve on SyncLive.com. If you are not in the Jacksonville area and can't make it to the Freebird, make sure to tune in for the live performance on SyncLive.com.

I can't do the NYE run b/c I won't get out in time to make the 4 hr drive from Tampa. So i'll be taping the webcast, since I'll be fucked up at my house. No biggie.

Stan...thanks for the reminder about priorities.
FNOVOA, there is an opening band, so by the time you get there (Skotdee & Myself will save a place for you at the tapers section) MOFRO will just be taking the stage.

Gr8..I don't think I'll be making the NYE run. I'm doing both nights in Tampa for sure. And thank you for the thought of saving me a spot, I appreciate it. =)
What I meant is, that since I can't go..I'll be taping the webcast.

Probly about 10:30-11:00 (based on last year) I would guess. But I'll see if I can find out and let you know.

All right! Hopefully they'll just leave it up there.
Sunshine had asked on another thread if there was a way to download/record this. I remember we had a discussion last year about it but don't remember the outcome. I'm thinking it was no there isn't. Anybody?

Yep, this is still up. You gotta get a username and password, if you don't have one, and hang loose a few minutes while it loads, but that's it!
