April 2 North Mississippi All Stars In 1996, brothers Luther (guitar, mandolin, vocals) and Cody Dickinson (drums, sampling) formed the North Mississippi Allstars with bassist Chris Chew. Originally from Fayette County, Tennessee, the brothers and their family moved to northern Mississippi, where the boys soaked up the region’s country-blues sound. That sound became the chief inspiration for the Allstars, but the group mixes in a rock edge, an alternative aesthetic, and a trad-rock jam-band sensibility. Bijou Theatre 803 S.

B E V E N T S Restore Dogwood S

L Tree Population O O M |

Dogwood Arts Festival has initiated ambitious plans for B A Z I L O N M S a community-wide tree-planting program to produce a “bazillion” dogwood blooms in the next three years. The “Bazillion Blooms” campaign is a major effort to plant disease-resistant, April-blooming dogwood trees in Knox and surrounding counties. Individuals can purchase one of a bazillion blooms that we need to bring back East Tennessee’s much-loved dogwood. The dogwood tree is vital to East Tennessee’s economy, environmental health and heritage. It is a source of community pride and tradition. The goal of Bazillion Blooms is to restore dogwoods to their former vitality in Knox and surrounding counties. Over the years, local dogwood tree populations have dwindled due to disease, construction and development, and neglect. The Dogwood Arts’ Bazillion Blooms aims to reverse that trend through a multifaceted effort that will involve raising community awareness of care and protection of dogwoods, supporting neighborhoods and individuals who plant trees and spearheading large-scale tree plantings. Donations of $5 per bloom and $100 per tree are being accepted at www.dogwoodarts.com to raise fund to purchase dogwood trees. Bazillion Blooms is a collaborative effort between many organizations and volunteers. The Dogwood Arts Festival is working in partnership with the City of Knoxville, Knox County, UT Agricultural Department, state and local government agencies, local businesses and community organizations. Dogwood tree sales in partnership with local retailers and garden centers will be announced later in the year as part of the Bazillion Blooms fall planting program. Dec. 5 is the official Bazillion Blooms dogwood-tree-planting day for 2009. For more information about the effort or how to get involved, contact the Dogwood Arts office at 865-637-4561.
