The North Mississippi Allstars were founded in 1996. RL Burnside, Jr. Kimbrough, Otha Turner and their musical families were at their peak--making classic records and touring the world. Brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson soaked up the music of their father, Jim Dickinson and 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.
After touring as an opening act for a variety of artists and honing their chops as a unit, the North Mississippi Allstars issued their debut album, Shake Hands With Shorty in the spring of 2000. Their debut proved to be a success and earned them a Grammy
nomination for “Best Contemporary Blues Album.”
Bringing their hill country blues infused rock’n roll to stages all over the country and the world (including multiple toursin Europe and Asia), the Allstars quickly gained a loyal fan base. The band gained additional popularity for their work in the Gospel-Blues band The Word, which also featured John Medeski and Pedal Steel player Robert Randolph. By 2005, the North Mississippi Allstars had released four studio records, three of which were Grammy nominated, and earned the reputation as one of the most intriguing acts to emerge from the loam of southern blues and roots rock.
Come to the BJC and cheer on your Nittany Lions as they continue their march through the 2009-10 Regular Season with a match-up versus Ohio State. Tip-off is set for 6:30 PM
