Luther Dickinson with Riverbend Ramblers and Johanna Divine

"Freedom" is Luther Dickinson’s sonic signature, on stage and in the studio. He grew up Mississippi and learned the power of artistic adventure firsthand from his father, Jim Dickinson, who produced albums for Big Star and The Replacements and recorded with everyone from Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin to Ronnie Hawkins and the Rolling Stones.

Luther followed in his father’s footsteps, earning a reputation as a fearsome session guitarist before breaking out internationally as a songwriter and performer with North Mississippi Allstars, launched with his brother Cody in the late 90’s. They’ve earned multiple GRAMMY nominations, starting with ‘Shake Hands With Shorty,’ and most recently with ‘Up and Rolling,’ nominated for a 2021 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.

Catch him performing onstage at the Acadiana Center for the Arts with Riverbend Ramblers and Johanna Divine this month. 7:30 pm. Tickets start at $35. acadianacenterforthearts.org.
