Still Shakin' TourFounded by brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson in 1996 as a loose collective of musicians from their North Mississippi home. The brothers were inspired to create the band listening to the music of their father Jim Dickinson and other musical elders from Mississippi like RL Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, Otha Turner, and Fred McDowell.
Luther’s first national tour was the RL Burnside “Ass Pocket of Whiskey Tour” in 1997, selling out shows in the US and Canada. Luther said, “Kenny Brown hired me to tour with RL and Cedric and showed me the ropes. That experience blew my mind. Cody and I have been on the road ever since.”
North Mississippi AllStars began touring in 1998 and over the years the touring lineup has included, Cedric, Duwayne and Garry Burnside, Chris Chew, Berry Oakley Jr, Oteil Burbruidge and currently Joey Williams of the Blind Boys of Alabama and Ray Ray Hollowman, guitar player for Eminem and Nee-O.
Since their debut album in 2000 and hitting the never ending road, they have shared the stage with countless legends; Phil Lesh, Mavis Staples, Robert Plant, John Hiatt, the Allman Brothers, The Black Crowes, Buddy Guy, Snoop Dogg, and Jon Spencer, while earning multiple grammy nominations for their experimental albums of what they like to call ‘Modern Mississippi Music.’
