Its been hot in new york, the hottest summer I think I’ve ever experienced. JJ Grey, who is from Jacksonville, FL and knows a thing or two about heat and humidity, said “it just feels hotter in New York” while onstage last night during his inspired show at City Winery. And he’s right.
He was introducing a song from his new record ‘Georgia Warhorse,’ called “Slow Hot & Sweaty.” JJ played for almost 2 hours, performing acoustic renditions of songs from the new record and digging deep into his 5-disc catalog. With each song JJ seemed to rile up the crowd a little more – and by the encore had the entire audience out of their seats, singing along, screaming, dancing, hands waving in the air. JJ had a gigantic smile on his face, a special night for everyone in the room.
Take a tour of the new album and life in Jacksonville with JJ in this mini-documentary:
