Memphis got another great serving of New Orleans music and culture at last night’s George Porter Jr. and the Running Partners performance at the Levitt Shell in Overton Park. The only thing better than great music is getting to hear it for free!

Jimbo Mathus and the Tri-State Coalition, kicking off the Levitt Shell season at Overton Park on May 14, 2011 with a set of songs from his upcoming new album “Confederate Buddah” on Memphis International Records, out May 24. The crowd particularly enjoyed the eerily-prophetic “Cling to the Roots and You Won’t Wash Away” and “Too Much Water Under The Bridge”, which were both written more than a year BEFORE the Memphis flood!
