Description

For more than a decade, the members of the North Mississippi Allstars have crafted a style they call "world boogie"- a unique and energetic blend of classic Mississippi country-blues, modern rock and the road-ready rock & roll sensibility of the jam band genre. Formed in 1996 in northern Mississippi, Luther and Cody Dickinson, along with Chris Chew, learned firsthand the rich blues tradition from legends like R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough. After honing their chops as a unit touring with larger acts, the band released 2000's Shake Hands with Shorty to widespread praise, including a Grammy nomination and a W.C. Handy Award for Best New Artist Debut. Since then, the Allstars have brought their blues-infused rock & roll to stages nationwide and abroad, quickly gaining a loyal fanbase and have released six full-length albums to date.
