Hey MoJa Friends!

Have you all been staying cool?  This heat wave across the country has been crazy, but hopefully everyone has been safe and staying hydrated…

THIS THURSDAY, July 28th on THE PORCH STAGE at 9:30PM we’ll be returning to one of our favorite festivals, FLOYDFEST in Floyd, VA.  This is the 10th Anniversary of the festival and we are honored to be back to celebrate how far they’ve come.  FloydFest also holds a special place in our hearts, not only because of its wide range of music and beautiful setting, but it was the very first music festival to embrace our music with open arms.  We’ve come a very long way since we first played there in 2006 and we’re very excited to be back again this year.  We will be playing ONLY 1 SET this year, so come early! Other great performers throughout the weekend include Robert Randolph, Peter Rowan, Toubab Krewe, Yonder Mountain String Band, and many others! Check out their website for full details at www.floydfest.com

We just got a quick tip that WTJU in the Charlottesville, VA area is giving away 7 pairs of Weekend Passes to FloydFest this weekend starting at 12 Noon today.  Tune your dials in to 91.1FM if you are in the area or worldwide on their website (www.wtju.net) for your chance to win!

“If we played anything but what we loved, we’d be dishonest”

Morwenna Lasko & Jay Pun perform their tune “One Moore Farewell,” (written for the late LeRoi Moore) at The Jefferson Theater. At this show, the duo supported Legendary South African Songwriter, Vusi Mahlasela in Charlottesville, VA on Feb. 20th, 2011.

The tune is from the 2009 release “Chioggia Beat” and features Dave Matthews Band Trumpeter, Rashawn Ross on the studio version.
