Jackson Area Music Happenings

[deltadukman]

The Black Crowes are coming to Jackson on September 25th. Tickets are going on sale July 26th. Its going to be at Thalia Mara so I anticpate a storytellers type show versus a rocking show. Not sure how that will play out, but nonetheless, yall now know about it.

I will be going. Had tickets to the new orleans show but sold em. Hopefully Tedeschi/Trucks will make an appearance as well.

Paul Thorn is playing at Duling Hall 2 days later. This is putting me in somewhat of a quandary. I have to figure out a way to attend both, if not - Crowes will likely go to the top even though it's the middle of the week.

TTB's last show with the Crowes is August 15th in Michigan. It appears that between Sept 21st (Beacon Theatre, NY) and October 13th (Ozark, Arkansas) TTB is taking a month off tour. I think it's a long shot for them to make a cameo. It would rock.

Some of y'all probably use some or all of these but I thought I'd share:

Pollstar has a lot of listings. Search by band or city (I tend to hit Little Rock, Memphis, Tuscaloosa, Biloxi, New Orleans and a few others). Here's Jackson:

Here's the Jackson Free Press. They're beyond liberal but they keep up with lots of Jackson Music:

I'm more interested in Paul Thorn than the Black Crowes.

Heard about this last night. Sounds like it would be cool even if it wasn't an all out rock concert.

Son Volt is gonna be at Duling Hall September 19th. North MS All-Stars are playing the Sunflower River Blues Festival in Clarksdale the second weekend in August.

He's also playing the King Biscuit Festival in Helena, AR on Friday, Oct 11th. I think this is the 2nd or 3rd year in a row. He goes on before Robert Cray. Greg Allman headlines on Saturday. Bobby Rush plays Saturday, too.

Not sure why you would think it wouldn't be a rocki9n show! The band Yes blew Thalia Mara up last Thursday. Back in the early nineties Widespread had a rocking show there. It’s a great place to see a concert.

It is not in Jackson, but this looks like a pretty good lineup. The wife and I will be getting a babysitter and attending this event...

I don't do facespace, but this is all I could find on the internet, some of you guys that have a facespace might can find more info about it there. The website they have listed just says it will be updated...but it aint updated yet

[southdeltan]

I sent them a message and this is the reply I got:

"Our website will be up by the end of the week. Prices are $39 for one day, $69 for the weekend with no overnight stay, $99 for overnight and camping."


The camping fee does not include tickets based on the RV reservation form on their Facebook page. It says you still have to buy tickets... I guess it's the same price for tent camping as well.

Gates open on Friday, music starts Saturday and runs until Sunday evening.

Buddy of mine is helping with the festival in Greenville. He told me some of the bands they have lined up. I remember Drive By Truckers, The Weak and NMAS. He said they have an offer into Warren Haynes but haven't heard back yet.

[deltadukman]

I really want to see DBT even though Isbell isnt with them anymore. Throw in Warren Haynes and I am there!
