BG & THE MOJO HANDS

Blues, Swing and Rockabilly

Guitarist/vocalist, Brian Gross, founded and led BG & the Mojo Hands for an impressive 25+ year run, based from the Washington, DC area. They have regularly performed their captivating brand of Roots Music: Blues, Swing, Rockabilly, and much more to enthusiastic audiences at many diverse venues in the Washington DC/Mid-Atlantic Region. They distinguish themselves in another way, though - they really play with feeling! That's what this kind of music is all about.

BG & the Mojo Hands is available for concerts, festivals, corporate parties, club engagements and other functions
