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.
