Allstars 'home-schooled'
in music historyLuther and Cody Dickinson were born into music. The sons of Jim Dickinson, the legendary producer (Big Star, The Replacements) and musician (Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Dr John), they were "home-schooled" in music history. The boys formed their first band before Luther turned ten and while still teenagers, they toiled over the mixing board with the Replacements, Beck, Mojo Nixon and rockabilly legend, Billy Lee Riley. The North Mississippi Allstars became regulars playing on Beale Street in Memphis, TN at BB Kings, Blues Hall and the Black Diamond. The Allstars played the grand opening of the Hard Rock Cafe on Beale Street with Jacob Dylan and the Wallflowers. They have been honored both by the Memphis local NARAS chapter as Premiers Players, as well as at the annual charity Blues Ball. They headlined the Memphis Stage at Nashville’s Chet-Fest and played festivals from Jacksonville Beach, FL, Norman, OK as well as the King Biscuit Festival, Vicksburg Blues Festival and the Sunflower Blues Festival in Clarksdale, MS. |
