Chicago Acoustic Underground

North Mississippi Allstars

According to the Old Town website, "The music of the North Mississippi Allstars is undoubtedly contemporary — drizzled with "everything from shaggy power pop to ramshackle punk" (Washington Post) — though the influences of Mississippi blues and the gospel tradition are never too far away. Luther and Cody Dickinson are on tap to bring their distinct version of blues-infused rock and roll to the Old Town School."
