SUMMARY:2022 Deep Roots Summer Series - Delta String Band @ Ellis Theatre
DESCRIPTION:The Delta String Band is an acoustic band playing music “the old school way.” Hailing from Greenville\, Mississippi\, the group consists of: Charles Sullivan\, guitar and vocals; Jacob “Spike” Brown\, banjo and vocals; David Morgan\, mandolin; Cody Ruth\, bass and vocals; and occasional members Jeffrey Tonos\, guitar; and Ferd Moyse\, fiddle. The rich\, cultural heritage of the Mississippi Delta is known for producing talented musicians\, and these players are no exception. \n\n\nThe Delta String Band is best described as an Americana band. They play a variety of styles\, from folk and bluegrass to straight-up country. With influences like bluegrass great Ralph Stanley\, folk master John Prine\, pure country kings Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings\, and even genre-fusing groups like the Grateful Dead\, they bring their own flavor to the music they play. “The old school way” to them\, means playing music in its truest\, purest\, stripped-down form. As their sepia-toned band photo suggests\, their sound is raw and rootsy.

SUMMARY:2022 Deep Roots Summer Series - Variety @ Backdraft
DESCRIPTION:Variety is the popular ‘old school’ R&B/soul duo of siblings Eric Edwards and Shara White from Cleveland\, Mississippi. They have been performing together across the country for more than 25 years. Their upbeat repertoire is the kind of music that\, according to Eric\, makes audiences want to ‘eat barbecue and drink cold beer.’ \n\n\nEric and Shara\, born and raised in the Mississippi Delta\, grew up in a musical home where they both started playing and singing at the early ages of 5 and 6 years old\, respectively. While citing their father\, Eddie Lee Edwards\, as their primary musical influence\, they also list Whitney Houston\, Mariah Carey\, Michael Jackson\, Prince\, and Quincy Jones as musicians whom they admire and respect. Both Eric and Shara are quick to acknowledge the contributions of their former band director\, Mr. James Stamps\, and musical friends Dr. Alphonso Sanders and Joe Johnson in encouraging and shaping the duo’s musical development and direction. \n\n\nEric’s voice has been compared to the Isley Brothers\, and Shara’s voice draws comparisons to Whitney Houston\, but they both feel that God has given them each a unique voice. Although known for their R&B style\, the duo is also deeply rooted in gospel music. The duo has released an album together titled There Is No One Else\, and in addition to writing original music for God’s Anointed Voices\, Eric has released an R&B project titled Those Vinyl Days!

SUMMARY:2022 Deep Roots Summer Series - The Big Time Rhythm & Blues Band @ Delta Arts Alliance Outdoor Awning
DESCRIPTION:The Big Time Rhythm &Blues Band was formed in the spring of 2010 by Michael “Cadillac” Dennis\, guitarist/vocalist\, and Tommy “Wildcat” Collins\, bass guitarist.   After playing for other artists\, the duo decided to form their own band and develop their own show.

SUMMARY:2022 Deep Roots Summer Series - Jeff McCreary @ Backdraft
DESCRIPTION:Jeff McCreary\, one of Deep Roots core artists\, is a singer-songwriter from the Delta town of Cleveland\, Mississippi. Born and raised in between Cleveland and the nearby town of Merigold\, McCreary stuck around even after a stint in Europe because of family and the irresistible draw of the Delta. McCreary’s music is the wry\, hard-earned expression of life and time in the mystic region famously described as “the most Southern place on earth.” \n\n\nAfter discovering Bob Dylan at age 16\, McCreary picked up the guitar and a pen. Inspired by Dylan’s music\, as well as Texas songwriter Townes Van Zandt\, he began to write his own songs based on a style that could be folk\, rock\, red dirt country\, anthemic\, Shakespearean\, sardonic\, heartwarming\, dark\, humorous\, or any/all of the above. Simply put\, McCreary explores all facets of the broad genre of Americana in his writing and playing. He writes with a specificity that makes his music all the more relatable\, offering an honest look at life and his surroundings. Songwriting is his passion to him\, it feels like it’s what he’s on earth to do. “They show up sometimes out of the blue\,” he says of his songs. “It’s like a gift.” \n\n\n“If you like roots or country or folk music\, I’m your guy. Or if you just like drinking beer with some background noise\, I’m also your guy\,” McCreary says just before a gig. While McCreary’s seemingly straightforward style may be conducive to head-nodding\, beer-drinking\, and even toe-tapping\, it shouldn’t be reduced to just background “noise.” He produces art in the form of music that sounds good and seems simple on the surface\, but reveals more and more upon the second or third or tenth listen. McCreary’s music is for the listener who wants to hear a straight-up country song or hum along with a pleasant folk tune\, and it’s for the guy in the corner lost in thought\, nursing a beer and his wounds. Like the unseen\, swift current of the nearby Mississippi River\, Jeff McCreary’s music proves that first appearances can be deceiving. His EP\, Rough Patch\, was released in 2021.

SUMMARY:2022 Deep Roots Summer Series - Mississippi Mason @ Pickled Okra
DESCRIPTION:Mississippi Mason is a singer/songwriter hailing from Columbus\, MS. Mason writes and sings music for “simple folks”–storytelling songs with catchy\, singable melodies and accessible lyrics. Having tasted the music business while growing up traveling with his dad’s southern gospel band on the weekends\, it’s no surprise that he ended up as a musician himself. \nWith influences from a wide range of old and new country\, southern rock\, and gospel artists\, Mason seems at home in a ball cap as much as the cowboy hat to which he’s dedicated an entire song. As a writer\, he seems less influenced by the bro-country of the last decade and more inspired by the writers of yesteryear. His idols are Johnny Cash\, Jamey Johnson\, and Lynyrd Skynyrd\, and it shows. There’s even a quality to his voice that seems to belong in a bygone era–his smooth tone mimics mid-century country balladeer Jim Reeves at some points\, and at others a 20th-century country tone that could have put him in the running to be the fifth member of the Highwaymen. \nMason’s newest recording effort\, a ten song collection of studio recordings titled Just The Way I Am\, shows his range as a writer. The album\, released in May 2022\, opens with the clearly southern rock anthem “Don’t Take Me Back\,” followed by the gothic-country plea to “Say a Prayer” for him on judgement day\, before transitioning to the carefree and relatable “Dancing In The Dark” (an ode to nonchalance as it relates to what life throws at you). The lighthearted “Tombigbee Bend” leads into the longing of “Outskirts of Heaven” and the romance of “Hey Babe.”  In a nod to the traditional sounds of Nashville\, Mason offers up his original song\, “Better On My Own” and a cover of the Cash classic\, “Folsom Prison Blues.” The project moves toward a conclusion with an upbeat tribute to the grandfather who handed down “This Cowboy Hat of Mine\,” and ends with a journey down “The Weary Road.” \nMason is a recent graduate from the DMI Entertainment Industry Studies program at Delta State University in Cleveland\, Mississippi\, and is signed to Cotton Row Record Company. He is currently marketing\, promoting\, and touring in support of his new album. The ultimate dream for Mason? To sing from the stage of the Grand Ole Opry and have his songs broadcast over WSM. It seems that he is well on his way. Just like country greats before him\, he writes and sings with a rugged honesty that comes across as absolutely genuine. www.mississippimason.com

SUMMARY:2022 Deep Roots Summer Series - Variety @ DAA Outdoor Awning
DESCRIPTION:Variety is the popular ‘old school’ R&B/soul duo of siblings Eric Edwards and Shara White from Cleveland\, Mississippi. They have been performing together across the country for more than 25 years. Their upbeat repertoire is the kind of music that\, according to Eric\, makes audiences want to ‘eat barbecue and drink cold beer.’ \n\n\nEric and Shara\, born and raised in the Mississippi Delta\, grew up in a musical home where they both started playing and singing at the early ages of 5 and 6 years old\, respectively. While citing their father\, Eddie Lee Edwards\, as their primary musical influence\, they also list Whitney Houston\, Mariah Carey\, Michael Jackson\, Prince\, and Quincy Jones as musicians whom they admire and respect. Both Eric and Shara are quick to acknowledge the contributions of their former band director\, Mr. James Stamps\, and musical friends Dr. Alphonso Sanders and Joe Johnson in encouraging and shaping the duo’s musical development and direction. \n\n\nEric’s voice has been compared to the Isley Brothers\, and Shara’s voice draws comparisons to Whitney Houston\, but they both feel that God has given them each a unique voice. Although known for their R&B style\, the duo is also deeply rooted in gospel music. The duo has released an album together titled There Is No One Else\, and in addition to writing original music for God’s Anointed Voices\, Eric has released an R&B project titled Those Vinyl Days! \n\n\nAs veteran entertainers\, Variety brings an undeniable joy and passion to playing and singing music because\, as Eric and Shara both say\, “it’s what we enjoy doing.” And for this duo…it definitely shows.

SUMMARY:2022 Deep Roots Summer Series - Gran Boiz @ Pickled Okra
DESCRIPTION:The Gran Boiz are a dynamic roots trio based in the Mississippi Delta. Their blend of R&B\, soul\, and blues is a perfect combination for bringing people of all backgrounds together under the sweet strains of foot-stomping\, hip-swaying music.\n\nFronted by brothers Marcus and Lewon Payne of Renova\, MS\, The Gran Boiz have been playing across the region for decades. They began their musical careers early by singing in their church choir\, but\, Marcus remarks humorously\, they “eventually figured out a way to get out of the choir…and became musicians.” As they grew older\, they were influenced by a wide variety of artists: from fellow Mississippians Sam Cooke and B.B. King to music greats like Ray Charles and James Brown\, as well as pioneers of other genres such as rock legend Jimi Hendrix and rapper 2Pac. The brothers honed their instrumental abilities over the years as the backing band for blues artist Mississippi Slim who gave them the moniker Gran Boiz. \n\n\nTheir various influences and multiple musical abilities have earned them the right to share the stage with soul/R&B singers Betty Padgett\, TK Soul\, Benny Lattimore\, and Sir Charles Jones\, along with GRAMMY® winner Bobby Rush\, and even hip hop group Three 6 Mafia. “We can fit in any genre and can play pretty much anything\,” says Marcus. Depending on the event and the environment\, The Gran Boiz play blues\, R&B\, soul\, gospel\, pop\, reggae\, and even country.

SUMMARY:2022 Deep Roots Summer Series - Jeff McCreary @ Pickled Okra
DESCRIPTION:Jeff McCreary\, one of Deep Roots core artists\, is a singer-songwriter from the Delta town of Cleveland\, Mississippi. Born and raised in between Cleveland and the nearby town of Merigold\, McCreary stuck around even after a stint in Europe because of family and the irresistible draw of the Delta. McCreary’s music is the wry\, hard-earned expression of life and time in the mystic region famously described as “the most Southern place on earth.” \n\n\nAfter discovering Bob Dylan at age 16\, McCreary picked up the guitar and a pen. Inspired by Dylan’s music\, as well as Texas songwriter Townes Van Zandt\, he began to write his own songs based on a style that could be folk\, rock\, red dirt country\, anthemic\, Shakespearean\, sardonic\, heartwarming\, dark\, humorous\, or any/all of the above. Simply put\, McCreary explores all facets of the broad genre of Americana in his writing and playing. He writes with a specificity that makes his music all the more relatable\, offering an honest look at life and his surroundings. Songwriting is his passion to him\, it feels like it’s what he’s on earth to do. “They show up sometimes out of the blue\,” he says of his songs. “It’s like a gift.” \n\n\n“If you like roots or country or folk music\, I’m your guy. Or if you just like drinking beer with some background noise\, I’m also your guy\,” McCreary says just before a gig. While McCreary’s seemingly straightforward style may be conducive to head-nodding\, beer-drinking\, and even toe-tapping\, it shouldn’t be reduced to just background “noise.” He produces art in the form of music that sounds good and seems simple on the surface\, but reveals more and more upon the second or third or tenth listen. McCreary’s music is for the listener who wants to hear a straight-up country song or hum along with a pleasant folk tune\, and it’s for the guy in the corner lost in thought\, nursing a beer and his wounds. Like the unseen\, swift current of the nearby Mississippi River\, Jeff McCreary’s music proves that first appearances can be deceiving. His EP\, Rough Patch\, was released in 2021.
