Second Hand Mojo, the blues-rock band out of Canton, Michigan and surrounding areas, has a new single, “Sister Surrender”, out today. This new song tells quite a story and is sure to capture your attention with its infectious groove and unforgettable melody. It’s the follow-up to their, “Good Vibes”, single which has garnered well over 1 million YouTube streams and is getting its own beer named after it.
Second Hand Mojo, who always gives off a good time, rock ‘n’ roll party vibe, is Vern Springer (guitar, vocals), Chuck Riepenhoff (lead vocals) Scott Brokaw (percussion, vocals), MarQ Andrew Speck “Q” (keys, vocals) and James Hampton (bass, vocals).
Springer says, ‘“Sister Surrender” is a story in 3 acts. The first act the protagonist is a guy driving down a deserted road at night and he spots a woman dressed as a nun on the side of the road. This is Sister Mysterious. He pulls over and she gets in the car. In the second act, the woman becomes Sister Evil. This is where she decides to kill the driver and herself. In the third act, the driver talks her out of harming them both. She then becomes, “Sister Surrender”. She has surrendered herself to the light, if you will, and finds redemption from whatever brought her to the place, he found her in act 2. It is a story about salvation for two people in the end.”
To celebrate the, Second Hand Mojo, “Good Vibes”, creme ale beer release, there is an event Saturday, April 27, 2024, at Canton Brew Works in Canton, Michigan. Springer says, “We are fortunate enough to have a beer named after our last single and we’re doing a release party for it, along with a live performance.”
Second Hand Mojo is busy playing shows, where they recently shared the stage with King’s X, Uli Jon Roth, and Trope to name a few. In May, the band is playing at Erie Rocks in Toledo and debuting their beer. In July, they have two festivals: Uncle Sam Jam in Woodhaven, Michigan and Wetzelland in Grover Hill, Ohio. They are also currently writing for the next recordings as well as preparing to release another single and the EP.
