Volunteers and vendors are sought for the Saturday, January 2 Key West Concerts presentation of “An Evening with JJ Grey & Mofro,” hosted by Key West Art & Historical Society at the historic Fort East Martello at 3501 S. Roosevelt Blvd.

The band, which tours widely with more than 120 live shows a year, have been lauded in major media outlets such as New York Times, Wall Street Journal and NPR for their soulful blend of blues, rock, folk, funk, gospel, R&B and Southern-inspired narratives.

The family-friendly concert, which will feature the band’s 9th album, “Ol Glory,” is part of the Music at Martello Series— a program established by Key West Art & Historical Society to promote the arts and bring live music to the Keys. It will feature a “festival-like” atmosphere with food vendors, a “kid’s zone” complete with a bounce house, and a “backyard casual” setup for the early-evening concert. Interested vendors and volunteers can contact [email protected] for more information.

Sponsored in part by We Cycle, Wonder Dog Productions, the Eden House, and Shipyard Brewing Company and portions of the evening’s proceeds will help fund KWAHS initiatives. A cash bar and select Key West food vendors will be available on the concert’s grounds.

JJ Grey & Mofro starts at 7pm with a tba opening act at 5:45, doors open at 5pm. Discounted tickets can be purchased in advance for $25 at keywestconcerts.com or at the door for $30. Key West Art & Historical Society members can call 305.295.6616 x 106 for special member-priced tickets and to join KWAHS to receive member benefits. Children under 12 are free. Parking will be available for $5, bike parking is free. For more information, contact [email protected].
