North Mississippi Allstars

The Allstars began touring in 1998, and the touring lineup currently features Joey Williams of the Blind Boys of Alabama and Ray Ray Holloman, guitarist player for Eminem. They’ve been fortunate to share the stage with countless legends, including Phil Lesh, Mavis Staples, Robert Plant, John Hiatt, Buddy Guy, Snoop Dogg, and Jon Spencer. By the time they made Shake Hands with Shorty, the recipe was Mississippi Hill Country and Sacred Steel cross-bred with stoner/punk/low-rent psychedelic jams. They started calling it Modern Mississippi Music.
