North Mississippi Allstars is currently on tour with Tedeschi Trucks Band for a number of dates this Winter, including a recent show at The Chicago Theatre on Thursday. NMA is a trio led by guitarist Luther Dickinson and drummer Cody Dickinson, and their chemistry goes well beyond brotherhood.
Playing through originals and covers, including Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead, and T-Bone Walker, the Mississippi-bred rock and blues band welcomed TTB vocalists Alecia Chakour, Mike Mattison, and Mark Rivers to the stage for the latter portion of their opening set.
Guitarist Derek Trucks joined the fun for the last two songs, “Deep Elem Blues” and “Mean Old World” before closing the show with an epic guitar-off between him and Luther. The two have performed together countless times, the previous time being at the Sunshine Blues Music Festival in Boca Raton, FL.
