North Mississippi Allstars: Still Shakin' Tour
6-14-2025
Get ready for some Mississippi heat...
North Mississippi Allstars (NMA), founded by brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson in 1996, draws inspiration from their father, Jim Dickinson, and legendary Mississippi musicians like RL Burnside and Junior Kimbrough. Nothing runs deeper than family ties. Brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters understand one another at the purest level. When families rally around music, they speak this oft-unspoken bond aloud and into existence. After 25 years, twelve albums, five GRAMMY® Award nominations, and sold out shows everywhere, North Mississippi Allstars open up their world once again on their thirteenth album, "Set Sail" [New West Records], welcoming other family (by blood and by the road) into the fold.
Over the years they have recorded and toured with Mavis Staples, Charlie Musslewhite, John Hiatt, Robert Plant and Patty Griffin, G Love, Jon Spencer, the Tedeschi Trucks Band, Los Lobos, and the Black Crowes. Meanwhile, their seminal debut, “Shake hands with Shorty” (2000), earned the band the first of five GRAMMY® nominations, and changed the Dickinson brothers’ lives forever, marking the beginning of their ongoing musical journey, which they describe as “Modern Mississippi Music.” They hit the road then and never really slowed down.
They forge ahead always as a family, first and foremost. “North Mississippi Allstars means family,” Cody concludes. “I get the joy of working with my brother. Our families keep growing too. There’s a sense of history. The older I get, the more I realize how important it is to record this music, so younger kids can hear it. I just want to make sure we pass it on. It’s a huge honor to be a part of this tradition.”
