JJ Grey & Mofro was launched in the early 2000's centering on his hometown of Jacksonville, FL.  A favorite among music critics, the band has toured extensively throughout the U.S. picking up a loyal fan base for over 23 years.  JJ's concerts have a strong "sing along" vibe that involves the entire audience.  Multi-award winning program director Ray White sat down, backstage, with JJ before his soundcheck to talk about his interesting beginnings in England, musical style & influences and his latest album Olustee.  In our showcase segment we feature two great musicians who have past ties with Greg Allman - Warren Haynes and Randall Bramblett.  Their latest solo albums, respectively, are Million Voices Whisper and Paradise Breakdown.  We go deep south, for this edition of Sittin' In With The CAT! 

Adolfo "Fito" de la Parra has been the "classic" drummer for Canned Heat during the past 57 years.  Having played at Woodstock in 1969 (Episodes 180 and 181) he has led a resurgence of the band during the past few years.  Their latest album Finyl Vinyl has garnered tremendous accolades and propelled them towards the top of the Blues Rock charts and album of the year mentions.  Multi-award winning program director Ray White spent time with Fito in July of 2024 to touch on the many highlights of the band during their many decades.  He also gives his unique insights into Canned Heat's new album.  In our showcase segment, we honor the late Mike Pinera who passed away on November 20, 2024.  Mike was co-founder of the band Blues Image and went on to play in Iron Butterfly, New Cactus Band, Alice Cooper and released several solo albums.  He also formed the first "all-star" band - The Classic Rock All-Stars.  We're back from the late 60's and early 70's on this episode brought to you by the authority on "new" music from many of your favorite "classic" bands and performers...
