North Mississippi All Stars

NORTH MISSISSIPPI ALL STARS “Spreading the world boogie”  Written by Mark Brut  Ask someone who the busiest people in rock and roll are and one name usually comes to mind, Warren Haynes.  But maybe people need to start including the members of the North Mississippi All Stars in the conversation. Brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson grew up in Hernando, Mississippi under the tutelage of their father, the late Jim Dickinson, a widely renowned musician and producer, who famously played piano on the Rolling Stones “Wild Horses” and has played with, mentored, and produced countless musicians of all genres.  Exposed at an early age to an incredible musical education of delta blues and Memphis soul, Luther and Cody formed the North Mississippi All Stars with bassist Chris Chew in 1996. I interviewed Luther Dickinson for this...

Mar 1, 2010 by

Chicago based Lubriphonic begins their two week tour tonight in Aspen.

Getting Funky with Lubriphonic

A look at what would happen if James Brown and Led Zeppelin had children By Todd Altschuler Get ready to dance your ass off this March when a funky rock and blues band called Lubriphonic embarks on two week tour of Colorado.

Frozen Dead Guy Days

Feb 9, 2010 by

Intro by Nederland resident Colin Huff If you were suspended in air above the mountains west of Boulder, Colorado, you would see a network of empty two lane highways winding through ranges and mountain peaks, connecting the ex-mining towns that speckle the great divide like knots in a massive, squiggly net.  The irony of such a simile is, of course, that the people living in these relatively isolated towns (if you can even call them towns—there are a few with populations in the single digits) are people who would pick up on, and object to, the metaphoric implication of living under a net.

Frozen Dead Guy Days

Feb 9, 2010 by

Intro by Nederland resident Colin Huff   THE TRUE STORY, YES IT IS ALL TRUE,,,,   Taken from the Nederland Chamber of Commerce website   Grandpa Bredo is soon to be 109 years old. For years, he’s taken up residence in a Tuff Shed in the hills above Nederland, Colorado, where he remains very, very, very cold. More specifically, Grandpa is frozen in a state of suspended animation, awaiting the big thaw- the one that will bring him back to life. There is a good story behind this, one that stretches from Norway to California to Colorado, involving cryonics, deportation, psychics, celebrations, and a dedicated Ice Man. It’s a tale that has captured international attention and sparked a must-attend annual event called Frozen Dead Guy Days. So how did all of this begin… and more...
