Tim's Rivershore Summer 2011

New Years Eve 2011 Capital Yacht Club

2011 was Mojo’s busiest year since the band formed in 2003, playing more gigs than ever before throughout the Wash DC-Northern VA area!  We also expanded the musical styles we cover in our playlist, adding some familiar Motown tunes in addition to classic rock songs from Journey, Chicago, Jimmy Eat World, Thin Lizzy, Billy Squier, Stray Cats, and even a bit of country!   Highlights of 2011 included four shows at Tim’s Rivershore (including the annual Waterstock Festival), the Dale City Moose Lodge, Knights of Columbus dinner dances, church festivals, the Four Winds Golf Club in Fredericksburg, a really rocking wedding reception at Vienna’s Jammin’ Java, a slew of private parties, and of course several appearances at Brothers Encore in Montclair, (especially our annual St. Patrick’s Day bash).  We closed out the year with a great New Year’s Eve celebration with the Capital Yacht Club in Wash DC.   Mojo also had to bid farewell to Denis Catalano, our drummer of 8 years and one of the founding members of the band, who moved to his retirement home in Florida.  But Mojo didn’t miss a beat, because we welcomed our new drummer Paul Norris, a former snare drummer with the “Commandant’s Own” US Marine Drum & Bugle Corps, and an award-winning music teacher and band director for Arlington Public Schools.
