THE MOJO GURUS SET TO HEADLINE TAMPA’S GUAVAWEEN 2014 CELEBRATION
Voodoo Carnival is October 25th at the Cuban Club in Ybor City
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TAMPA BAY, FL. (THURSDAY OCTOBER 16, 2014) – The Mojo Gurus (www.mojogurus.com) announced today that they will headline Tampa’s Guavaween 2014 celebration. Freakshow carnival and voodoo magic come together for Guavaween 2014 with plenty of entertainment including live music on the main stage featuring The Mojo Gurus, Burlesque and Side Show Acts in the Theatre, street performers and much more. The Mojo Gurus Guavaween show will feature tracks from the new record, Who Asked Ya?, which was released on September 16 via Red River Entertainment with distribution through Sony/RED.
Riding high on praise from local radio stations to international rock magazines, The Mojo Gurus reputation as a fearsome rock ‘n roll band is set to hit the Tampa Bay area with a vengeance. Case in point of the bands popularity, the Tampa public radio station WMNF have been spinning their new CD on It’s The Music and The Traffic Jam where it was the CD of the Week on both shows. Creative Loafing Tampa said the new record is “….13 tracks of jet fuel-powered blues-rooted rock n’ roll seasoned in roots, funk and ‘60s hues.” Guitar World premiered their new video “Bandito” and across the pond Britain’s iconic Classic Rock magazine said, “Who Asked Ya? is a fistful of full-throttle rock ‘n’ roll of the type Jack Douglas (who the band have worked with in the past) used to make with Aerosmith. Mmmm, greasy.”
