The latest pursuits include releasing a full-length album,' Midnight Dojo', in July and hosting their own Mojo Family Festival. There's so much to take in from this group as they continue to rise in the scene; be sure to stay tuned on Instagram, Spotify, and Bandcamp!
You can find Bodhi Mojo playing throughout the Pacific Northwest at venues and festivals - they call Portland, OR, their home.

A JOHN PRINE CHRISTMAS
Ever wonder what John Prine has to do with Christmas? Ever wished the beloved songwriter had more to do with sleigh bells, eggnog, and Old Saint Nick. Well, in 1994 Prine released his 11th LP titled, “A John Prine Christmas.” The critics didn’t acclaim it much, but with titles such as “Silent Night All Day Long '' and “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” it’s still Prine at his lovely wry best, bringing Christmas home.
