St. Xavier vs. Trinity High School boys basketball Watch as two of the biggest and oldest high school rivals in Louisville battle it out in basketball at Freedom Hall. Freedom Hall JJ Grey & Mofro Grey's ability to tell his thought-provoking stories through original songs, informed by a mixture of old school rhythm and blues and down-home roots rock 'n' roll, has carried JJ Grey & Mofro from the backwoods of Florida to hundreds of concert stages across the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan and Australia. Singing with a passion and fervor influenced by his classic soul heroes, Grey's deeply personal songs are steeped in the rhythms of his native home outside of Jacksonville, Florida. Grey comes from a long tradition of southern storytellers and, in that spirit, he fills his songs with details that are at once vivid, personal and universal.
