With his magnetic energy and a vibrant presence, coupled with prolific lyrics and powerful vocals, Matisyahu brings an unmatched live-music experience to each and every audience that sees him. Drawing inspiration from reggae-soul, ska-inflected new wave, pop-rock and acoustic folk, he is a singular voice that has unified millions of fans around the world with his music and message of peace, hope and understanding.

After losing their father, Memphis music legend Jim Dickinson, in 2009, Luther and Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars reformed in the spring of 2010 and went into the family’s recording studio to create a record that could help them cope with the loss and, at the same time, rejoice in his honor. The first line of Jim’s self-written
eulogy was, “I refuse to celebrate death.” Luther, Cody and Chris Chew took heed and aimed to celebrate life instead; the songs for the new record, Keys to the Kingdom (Songs of the South), came pouring out of their souls.
