Live! @Montpelier

In 2011, when Jazz saxophonist, Elijah Jamal Balbed was a Sophomore at Howard University, he received a life-changing call to perform with the Godfather of Go-Go, Chuck Brown. Elijah performed with Chuck from May of 2011 until the Godfather's death the following year on May 16th, 2012. The year Elijah spent with Chuck, instilled a new-found love for Go-Go music, which would forever influence his sound and approach to music. When it was time for Elijah to start a band of his own, he knew it had to be something that brought his Jazz and Go-Go worlds together … The JoGo Project was born! Today, The JoGo Project is a WAMMIE Award winning band from Washington, DC that fuses many styles of music, but with Jazz harmonies and a driving Go-Go beat at its core. Montpelier Arts Center is extremely pleased to bring The JoGo project to you and want you to join the party and get moving!
