NMA started by brother Luther and Cody Dickinson in 1996 as a loose collective of
musicians from their North Mississippi home inspired by their father Jim Dickinson as
well as neighbors and musical elders of their community; RL Burnside, Junior
Kimbrough, Otha Turner and Fred McDowell.

Luther’s first national tour was the RL Burnside Ass Pocket of Whiskey tour in 1997,
selling out shows in the US and Canada. “Kenny Brown hired me to tour with RL and
Cedric and showed me the ropes. That experience blew my mind. Cody and I have
been on the road ever since.”

NMA began touring in 1998 and over the years the touring lineup has included, Cedric,
Duwayne and Garry Burnside, Chris Chew, Berry Oakley Jr, Oteil Burbruidgem and
currently Joey Williams of the Blind Boys of Alabama and Ray Ray Hollowman, guitar
player for Eminem and Nee-O.

Since their debut album in 2000 and hitting the never ending road, they have shared the
stage with countless legends; Phil Lesh, Mavis Staples, Robert Plant, John Hiatt, the
Allman Brothers, The Black Crowes, Buddy Guy, Snoop Dogg, and Jon Spencer to
name a few, while earning multiple grammy nominations for their experimental albums
of they like to call Modern Mississippi Music.
