CITIZEN MOJO Variety Band from Asheville, NC

Seasoned musical veterans combine to make soulful, creatively compelling interpretations of eclectic blues, funk, soul, and jazz---suffused with a rock 'n' roll sensibility. Original material fills out the always engaging...and danceable repertoire. High energy grooves; on-point musicianship; this Western North Carolina all-star cast promises a *FUNKY* good time for all! Club, festival, or private function. W. C. Handy Award (Blues Award) nominated WNCW public radio host Stephen Blanton and his experienced team bring a mix of material that incorporates elements of blues, soul, funk, and jazz informed by the members' upbringings in the golden era of rock 'n' roll; and much like Blanton's radio program, the Saturday Night House Party, where he is now in his 25th year at the helm. It's all designed to put the get-up in your get-down and the move in your groove. Equally at home on a festival stage or in an intimate private setting, the band is most capable of shifting emphases to suit the needs, moods, and proclivities of its audiences. Need a specific song or three for that most special occasion? Let the band know well enough in advance, and they can have it ready!
