Its Easter season, baseball season, finals season but most importantly this past weekend was Double Decker season. And headlining the whole thing is Hernando Mississippi's own North Mississippi Allstars. The Allstars, as they are known, have been playing music as a trio together for over 15 years. The band consist of brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson guitar and drums respectively and bassist Chris Chew. Chew was not present for the Double Decker performance but the brothers pulled it off fine with out him, using a bass loop.
The bands first CD, Shake Hands With Shorty, was nominated for a Grammy in 2000 and since, they have had 3 more Grammy Worthy albums. "I've been all over the world and nothing could pull me away from Mississippi. none of us would be here with out the culture and the music and the people." said Lead singer Luther Dickinson.
The Grammy nominated artist returned to Oxford to perform on the square, wrapping up another amazing Double Decker, before going on a European tour. Right now they are in Italy and will return stateside at the end of the month. For more tour dates check out their website http://www.nmallstars.com/
