JD Simo and Luther Dickinson with Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears

About JD Simo and Luther Dickinson: When JD Simo and Luther Dickinson hit the stage with drummer Adam Abrashoff, it's not just a show; it's a greasy, groove-soaked resurrection of Hill Country blues. The trio is a rare convergence of three masters pushing roots music into the now. Their 2024 album Do The Rump! debuted to rave reviews, with No Depression calling it "a swamp stomper's paradise" and Americana Highways praising their "fearless climb into new mountains of sound." Their single "Come On" topped SiriusXM's Bluesville chart, proving their sound resonates far beyond tradition. The trio’s much anticipated second record is forthcoming. Luther Dickinson, four-time Grammy nominee and co-founder of the North Mississippi Allstars, brings deep Southern lineage and slide-drenched soul. JD Simo adds his signature fusion of psych-blues and virtuosity, with credits ranging from Phil Lesh to Beyoncé. Adam Abrashoff's deep-pocket drumming fuses it all with electrified momentum. This trio only performs a handful of select dates each year. Each one is a high-octane celebration of improvisation, soul, and swampy swagger -a modern blues experience like no other. About Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears: Black Joe Lewis channels the grit of James Brown, the fuzzed-out swagger of garage rock, and the fire of old-school R&B into a sound that’s raw, unfiltered, and impossible to ignore. With his band The Honeybears, he’s built a reputation as a blistering live performer, blending scuzzy blues guitar and primal vocal energy. After extensive touring and years of cult acclaim, Lewis is gearing up for a major return: his first new record since 2018 is set for release in early 2026.
