Starting yesterday (1/22/09) JJ Grey & Mofro announced a new contest. The winner will get an Epiphone SG Special guitar autographed by JJ.
TO be eligible to win, all you have to do is forward the contest link to 2 or more people you think would like JJ Grey & Mofro. That's it...easy as pecan pie.
I know that lots of people have been turning their friends (and in FireFly's case, people on the street including the homeless) onto Mofro. That's awesome. But I think there's a subtle message behind this contest. Like y'all don't already know, times are tough. They're getting tougher on bands and on venues. Shows at places like Skipper's, where normally a Mofro show would sell out a few weeks in advance aren't selling out until day of. Some shows aren't selling out. With all the expenses they have, that means the band is lucky to break even on a show.
While I'd like to say that this contest is just something nice for the fans, contests and promotions are seldom run without a purpose, and this one is no different.
Lots of people post that they're bring virgins, talking up the band, etc. Wonderful!! But let's try to step it up even more. Like most bands their size, they don't have an ad budget, they depend on word of mouth more than anything. So let's show 'em that we really can move the needle for 'em. And who knows? You might win a really, really cool guitar with JJ's autograph.
I am on the JJ Grey & Mofro emailing list and got this email this morning and have already used 2 email accounts and emailed over 10 people........ ---------- "Lord feel that vibe, Lord feel that vibe....."

It’s 2025 and my expenses to keep this site up are just over $800/yr. If you want to help offset my expenses to keep this site up please consider pitching in a buck or 2. Much obliged!
