Band members are Kevin Steele (songwriter/ singer), Jeff Vitolo (guitar), Tommy Weder (drums), and Vinnie Granese (bass).
Singer Kevin Steele formed the Mojo Gurus in 1999 in Tampa Bay, FL. The band cut their teeth in Florida's seedier rock and blues clubs and quickly earned a reputation based on their hot and nasty live performances. The Gurus play good ol' American hoodoo voodoo, born on the bayou style rock-n-roll with a classic taste that makes most of today's alternative, flavor of the month bands sound downright silly.
The band features the songwriting of singer Kevin Steele (who's eclectic influences and witty lyrics have earned him comparisons to a young Bob Dylan) and the gutter cat guitar playing of Jeff Vitolo. Drummer Tommy Weder and bassist Vinnie Granese lay down a rhythm thicker than mud from a Louisiana swamp. Together they mix all their favorite ingredients: blues, psychedelic, hillbilly, glam, and gospel into one goats head soup of a sound served simmering!
The Mojo Gurus released their debut disc in 1999 to great critical acclaim. The bands video "Tiger Lily" earned rotation on the Canadian music video channel Much Music and helped the band sell over 20,000 copies of their independently released CD. This was quickly followed by "Drinkin' TNT and Smokin' Dynamite" which along with their powerhouse live performances have helped the band build an impressive following. Now the Gurus are back with their third release "Hot Damn!" a disc that has critics singing their praises on both sides of the Atlantic.
Always experimenting with many different musical styles the Mojo Gurus have refused to paint themselves into a corner. They are unique in today's music scene with intelligence behind their unbridled raw power, prolific songwriting and a mastery of the live performance that gives them the potential to be one of America's greatest rock bands.
