Gothic Theatre – Feb. 6, 2026
The North Mississippi Allstars have never followed the straight road. They’ve always walked the gravel shoulder — dusty, raw, electric with soul — and on Friday, February 6, 2026, the long-running blues torchbearers arrive at the Gothic Theatre in Englewood, bringing three decades of hill-country fire with them. Tickets go on sale Friday, November 21 at 10AM MT, and Colorado is in for a night of deep-groove American roots played with guts, grit, and the kind of swagger you only earn from a lifetime on the road.
North Mississippi Allstars — founded in 1996 by brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson — grew from a loose community of North Mississippi players, shaped by the musical elders who defined the region’s sound: R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, Otha Turner, and Fred McDowell. Born into the lineage of their father Jim Dickinson, the brothers absorbed those hypnotic rhythms young and never let them go.
Their story reads like an unbroken line from juke-joint dirt floors to festival mainstages. Luther hit the national circuit with R.L. Burnside’s Ass Pocket of Whiskey tour in ’97, a trial by fire that sparked a lifetime of touring. Within a year, North Mississippi Allstars were a road band — and they’ve hardly stopped since.
Over the decades the NMA lineup has welcomed pillars of the hill-country bloodline including Cedric, Duwayne, and Garry Burnside, Chris Chew, Berry Oakley Jr., and **Oteil Burbridge**. The current touring crew features Joey Williams of Blind Boys of Alabama and Ray Ray Hollowman — the genre-bending guitarist known for work with Eminem and Nee-O — pushing the sound into new, ecstatic territory.
Since their 2000 debut, they’ve become one of the most respected live bands in American music, sharing stages with legends like Phil Lesh, Mavis Staples, Robert Plant, John Hiatt, The Allman Brothers, The Black Crowes, Buddy Guy, Snoop Dogg, and Jon Spencer. Grammy nominations followed, but the brothers kept evolving, calling their shape-shifting style Modern Mississippi Music — a living thing, swampy and ecstatic, ancient and forward-leaning at once.
Colorado, this is your chance to feel it up close.
