Band Profile

Band Biography, Description, and More

Commonly when someone thinks about the south and Mississippi, their thoughts linger on southern hospitality, an overwhelming sense of tradition and humid weather. A little bit deeper lies a complex society, more closely interwoven than almost anywhere else in the country, where friends know friends and six degrees of separation turns to two. Deeper still, though, lies something totally different.

Amidst the facade of compassion camaraderie lie prejudice and resentment. The youth of the once renown south is changing to catch the rest of the nation and the change is coming fast. One product of this changing time is music and in the backwoods of Mississippi something new has emerged.
