Founded by brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson, the Grammy-nominated band blends deep Mississippi blues with rock, soul, and improvisation — delivering high-energy performances that have made them a favorite at festivals and theaters worldwide.
The Allstars began touring in 1998, and the touring lineup has at various times included Cedric Burnside, Garry Burnside, Chris Chew, Berry Oakley Jr., and Oteil Burbridge. Currently the band 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, their recipe was Mississippi Hill Country and Sacred Steel cross-bred with stoner/punk/low-rent psychedelic jams. They started calling it Modern Mississippi Music.
Thier 2026 touring cycle marks 30 years performing worldwide— don’t miss it!
