“Voices of Mississippi” is an immersive multimedia experience and concert event that celebrates the people and art of the southern blues, gospel, and storytelling traditions. Based on and inspired by the acclaimed 2019 double Grammy winning four-disc box set of the same name, “Voices of Mississippi,” the program features musical performances by notable Mississippi artists, including Grammy award winner and Blues Hall of Famer Bobby Rush, fife master Shardé Thomas, and Luther and Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars, plus archival film and images. The show includes fascinating personal narratives and accounts from Dr. William Ferris, founding director of The University of Mississippi Center for The Study of Southern Culture and former Chairman of The National Endowment for the Humanities.
