The Word will be gracing the home court of the New York Knicks for a halftime show on opening night at MSG. This energetic gospel jam-band includes pedal steel guitarist Robert Randolph, keyboardist John Medeski (Medeski, Martin, and Wood), and The North Mississippi All Stars: Luther Dickinson (guitar), Cody Dickinson (drums, electric washboard), and Chris Chew (bass). Originally a band in 2000, the group re-joined forces recently and have been touring the country in support of their new album, Soul Food.
This afternoon, they posted a picture on Facebook of how they prepare for Game Day:
