Mojo Juju

Melbourne’s Mojo Juju is the real deal, producing captivating Prohibition-era hoodoo jazz-blues and looking damn good doing it.

A snappy dresser and snappier songwriter, Mojo Juju stepped away from her first band Snake Oil Merchants to stand as a singular figure in tactile, authentic throwback jazz, swampy blues, and rockabilly.

She talks about her sultry single ‘This Must Be Desire’ (and whether stuffing a chicken can be sexy), her musical family, hooking up with ABC Music, the theatre of the genre, her natty threads, and more.

‘Tina – The Tina Turner Musical’ Is Both Confronting And Stunning #REVIEW

Before seeing ‘Tina – The Tina Turner Musical’ I wondered how the producers would be able to tell the confronting and often violent story of Tina Turner while maintaining the entertainment factor to hold an audience over two plus hours. Let me say, ‘Tina – The Tina Turner Musical’ succeeds on both a historical level and an entertainment level. This is brilliant theatre.

Don’t bother asking 80 year old blues legend Charlie Musselwhite when he is retiring. I did and this was the answer I got. “I haven’t really thought about it a whole lot. I’ve really enjoyed what I am doing and I would love to come back to Australia. We have always loved Australia. Never had a problem there. Its always been a great time, great people, great audiences. Its just a beautiful place to come and we are looking forward to it.”
