Play Dead The Usry Network

- Musik
A teenage girl leaves her one-traffic-light town and heads for Jackson, Mississippi, with nothing but a guitar and passion for music. A young drummer left without a band suddenly gets his chance to perform in front of thousands of screaming fans. A global rock icon is convinced to hang out at a local Jackson dive, only to be punched in the mouth for his trouble. These are just a few of the many stories within the story of a criminally undocumented place and time in the history of modern music. In the Usry Network's new six-part audio docuseries, hear how three ambitious kids created a scene, a business and a community, ushering in talented artists and unforgettable performances. "Play Dead: The Jackson, Mississippi Music Scene of the 80's and 90's" features interviews with Rick Miller of Southern Culture on the Skids, Webb Wilder, Tim Lee of The Windbreakers, Corey Ray of Fling Hammer and many more musicians, promoters and influencers.
