The MoJo Affair

THE MOJO AFFAIR is a band whose aim is to redirect the current popular music trends back to the standards of decades past...with an eclectic twist. The group is the baby of MS. MAESTRO and was delivered from an inspired musical rebirth. She took a desire to revert back to the days of meaningful lyrical content, the featured soloist, and the timeless melody, gathered some friends who shared the same vision, and then, collaboratively, created the debut album, SECRETS. At the core of the unique band is its invaluable roster and rare combination of top quality musicians who exploit every aspect of their talents to demonstrate what they call..." Retro-Acoustic Soul". Ms. Maestro also takes her songs on the road with an acoustic set delivering her personal songs in the rawest form with subject matters ranging from "dillusional love" to "bill collectors" to "life"...the band calls the sound ..........'the cure for the status quo'
