WELCOME TO
MISSISSIPPI
Birthplace of America's Music
"There must be something magic in this land. Every corner of the world has its own signature music, art and literature, but Mississippi has a depth of cultural richness that few regions can rival. Known as the “Birthplace of America’s Music,” Mississippi has literally shaped the course of modern music with its contributions to blues, jazz, rock, country and gospel. Mississippi writers helped define the character of 20th century American literature, and Mississippians continue to have a significant influence on the traditional and performing arts to this today." ~
