The Mojo Stars

About Me

Formed just under two years ago, The Mojo Stars have wasted no time in establishing themselves as force to be reckoned with. Combining soul, jazz- infused funk and straight Chicago blues, this hard-working band has quickly injected the local scene with a healthy dose of Mojo. With Randy Clarke on vocals, Mark Rankin on guitar, Doug Jang on drums, Graham Clark on bass, and Mark Race on keyboards, the Mojos unique sound is much a product of talent as of generational attitude. With an age difference of over 20 years within the band, the Mojo's sound is steeped in old school, new school and everything in between.
