I like to support as much local music as possible but the closest thing to country I can take is
Dirt Brothers. They are a southern rock/country fusion with a few guys from Southaven. Check YouTube because one of their videos was filmed in Hernando.
My musical tasts are closer to
3 Doors Down (Kiln) and
Saving Abel (Corinth). I've seen
Gabby Johnson (Desoto county) open up for a major headliner here in Southaven. Finally you have the Grammy winning
North Mississippi Allstarts from Hernando.
There are dozens of famous blues artists like BB King, Robert Johnson and Pine Top Perkins that were/are from MS.
This state is full of very talented musicians and singers.
