ABOUT THE CONCERT
Voices of Mississippi is a new multimedia event celebrating the music, art, and storytelling traditions of the people of Mississippi. Based on the 2019 double Grammy Award-winning Voices of Mississippi: Artists and Musicians Documented by William Ferris, the program features live musical performances integrated with film, audio recordings, and rare photographs captured by folklorist William Ferris, who will serve as host for the evening.

A historian with a proudly egalitarian lens, Ferris studies Mississippi as a slice of humanity in which everyone and everything is interconnected-and in which the beating heart of broader cultural traditions can be found in some of the most overlooked figures and places. From the 1960s through the 1990s, Ferris captured an invaluable archive of cultural and musical treasures, and much of that art and humanity will be shared in this unique multimedia concert experience.

Featuring Bobby Rush and Ruthie Foster with William Ferris, Cedric Burnside, Sharde Thomas and Luther and Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars, Voices of Mississippi combines blues, folk, gospel music, and spoken-word storytelling to paint a powerful picture of a unique time and place that remains an essential piece of the American cultural fabric.

The Voices of Mississippi Box Set features 120-page-hardcover book with 3 CDs and 1
DVD. Dust to Digital owners Lance and April Ledbetter along with Music Manager, Charles Driebe, are Hambidge Fellows that collaborated to help bring this award winning album to life with a magical tour.
