Blues for a Fiver

No, the North Mississippi Allstars isn't a sexual position. It's a band. And if you haven't listened to their Grammy-nominated shit, you should. If you've heard the album but never seen them perform live, you should make this the first to-do on your Being An Un-Lame-O Starting Now list. At...

No, the North Mississippi Allstars isn't a sexual position. It's a band. And if you haven't listened to their Grammy-nominated shit, you should. If you've heard the album but never seen them perform live, you should make this the first to-do on your Being An Un-Lame-O Starting Now list. At 8 p.m. Wednesday, see the North Mississippi Allstars country-rock out with their contemporary-blues-and-sometimes-even-hip-hop cocks out at the House of Blues, 2200 N Lamar St. Tickets are $5, so you'd better go. Because if House of Blues starts not making money on these kinds of cheap shows featuring cool bands, they'll stop doing them. And then, we'll all be looking at their event calendar pissed off because every show is a million fafillion dollars and we'll have to come beat you up for ruining everything by not going to see NMA for cheap. For reals. Visit hob.com. Call 214-373-8000 or visit ticketmaster.com.

Can you help us continue to share our stories? Since the beginning, Dallas Observer has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas — and we'd like to keep it that way. Our members allow us to continue offering readers access to our incisive coverage of local news, food, and culture with no paywalls.

Alice Laussade writes about food, kids, music, and anything else she finds to be completely ridiculous. She created and hosts the Dallas event, Meat Fight, which is a barbecue competition and fundraiser that benefits the National MS Society. Last year, the event raised $100,000 for people living with MS, and 750 people could be seen shoving sausage links into their faces. And one time, she won a James Beard Award for Humor in Writing. That was pretty cool.
