Award-Winning Film
and Music Producers Set to Launch First Blues Music Reality Show This
Fall
(CLARKSDALE, MS) – The creators of the
award-winning documentaries “M For Mississippi” and “We Juke Up in Here” return
in 2013 with “Moonshine & Mojo Hands,” a new weekly web-TV series dedicated
to the rude, rowdy – and often ridiculous – world of Mississippi blues. The show
follows hosts Jeff Konkel and Roger Stolle as they travel the Delta’s back roads
in search of juke joints, house parties, barbecue, moonshine and – of course –
the men and women who keep this uniquely American music alive in the land of its
birth.
The first season of the show will consist of 10 episodes streaming for
free online this fall. Each 12-minute episode will take viewers on a wild ride
through the Mississippi Delta and Hill Country to meet the region's most
fascinating characters in truly unforgettable settings.
“There’s truly no place else on Earth
quite like Mississippi,” Konkel said. “We can’t wait to introduce viewers to all
of the great music, food, culture and characters that the state has to
offer.”
“We’ve been really overwhelmed by the
excitement and interest that the project has already generated,” Stolle said.
“With the support of sponsors and fans, we’re confident we can create a show
that will help the world understand what makes Mississippi such a weird and
wonderful place.”
“Moonshine & Mojo Hands” is a joint
production of Cat Head Delta Blues & Folk Art and Broke & Hungry Records
in partnership with Tangent Mind, LLC and Lou Bopp.
