Rockapella Christmas
Date: Saturday, November 26, 2016
Since the early ’90s when they first achieved national television fame on PBS’s Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?, a cappella icons Rockapella have provided a funky, powerful soundtrack to several generations of vocal music fans, touring the globe and always keeping their music fresh along the way. With buckets of catchy original pop songs, as well as complete contemporary revisions of sparkling Motown, pop, and soul classics, this five-man ensemble can create the sound of a full band using only the versatility of their voices. As USA Today proclaimed: “The best musical instrument of all is the human voice – if you’ve seen Rockapella you know that’s the truth.”

Winter Blues Fest – DAY 3
Charlie Musselwhite & North Mississippi AllStars
Date: Saturday, November 5, 2016
Blues harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite is living proof that great music only gets better with age. After cutting his musical teeth in the early ’60s alongside Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, and other Chicago blues greats, Musselwhite is still going strong, riveting audiences with a voice and harp tone like no other.
Brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson grew up soaking in the music of their father, Memphis legend Jim Dickinson, absorbing north Mississippi’s musical legacy through nights at the local juke joints. In 1996, Luther (guitar, vocals) and Cody (drums, vocals) decided to use this musical background as the foundation for a new band, and the North Mississippi Allstars were born, pioneering their own brand of blues-infused rock and roll.
