Jock-a-mo is a two-person play (with music) featuring a young white female music producer, an older Black blues musician, and a three-person blues band that create an ongoing soundscape. Charlie and Tyrone “Shortleg” Johnson have been forced together by Charlie’s boss to finish a song that will appear in a Hurricane Katrina Benefit Album. Jock-a-mo centers around the complexities of music appropriation, the intersectionality of racial and sexual oppression, and the generational divide.
