Why You Should Go: The North Mississippi Allstars are the premier contemporary blues bands touring today. Brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson founded the band in 1996 after years of soaking up the music of their father, Jim Dickinson. In their youth they had absorbed the North Mississippi Blues legacy while playing and shaking it down at the juke joints with their blues ancestors. Luther (guitar and vocals) and Cody (drums and vocals) joined up with bassist Chris Chew to form the core of their own band, The North Mississippi Allstars. Through the filter of generations of Mississippi Blues men, the Allstars pioneered their own blues-infused rock and roll and continue to do so.
Twelve years into a very promising career, The Allstars have garned attention from the fans around the world and the likes of the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences who have nominated them for several Grammy Awards.
The Allstars guitarist Luther Dickinson has recently joined The Black Crowes as a full time member but has pledged to keep The Allstar train moving. They are touring in support of their most recent release Keep The Devil Down.
