From his early days playing cover music behind chicken wire at a west side Jacksonville juke joint while still working at a lumberyard, to playing sold-out shows at some of the largest venues and music festivals in the world, JJ Grey has always delivered his soul-honest truths. Since his first album, ‘Blackwater’, back in 2001, Grey has been releasing deeply moving, masterfully written, funkified rock and front porch Southern soul music.

Now, with ‘Olustee’ – his tenth album and first in eight years, and the first he has self-produced – Grey is back, singing his personal stories with universal themes of redemption, rebirth, hard luck, and inner peace. With his music, Grey also celebrates good times with friends, oftentimes mixing the carnal with the cerebral in the very same song. Fueled by his vividly detailed, timeless original songs spun from his life experiences, Grey’s gritty baritone drips with honest passion and testifies with a preacher’s foot-pounding fervor.

With ‘Olustee’, JJ Grey has once again pushed the boundaries of his own creative musical, lyrical and vocal talents, delivering an instant classic. Many of the songs are steeped in the mythical Southern stories of his ancestral Florida home and filled with people from JJ’s life. The songs are told through the eyes of a poet and sung with pure, unvarnished soul. Grey’s message is simple and strong – respect the natural world and always try to live in the moment. And never forget the importance of having a good time!

*CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED* The 92ZEW Leprechaun has escaped again! He’s hiding SOMEWHERE in and around Mobile and it could mean some gold from Hayes Jewelers for you! We actually KNOW where the Leprechaun is, bonus hint he’s not in Creighton, and we’ll give 3 clues a day (Monday-Friday) at 7:20am with Matt McCoy , 12:20pm with Pablo, 5:20pm with Gene and a daily recap of all three clues at 6:45pm with Tony. But those are the only clues we’re giving out. We’re not posting them on social media or repeating them, so you have to listen in if you want to get all the clues!

Be the first one to find and catch our true missing Leprechaun ( He will be marked on the back so you know you’ve captured the right one and no backhoe will be needed ) and return him to 824 Western American Drive, and you get “Da Gold,” which is a 14 karat gold necklace from Hayes Jewelers, with a gold pendant attached, surrounded by emeralds, and two diamonds inside!

He could be ANYWHERE in our listening area, so grab your magic flute, if you see our leprechaun say ayyyyy, and good luck from Hayes Jewelry and 92 ZEW.
