The Transfer Co. Ballroom is BACK with another performance in the heart of downtown Raleigh.

An artist steeped in Southern roots music of all sorts, Jimbo Mathus first earned attention as one of the founders of the Squirrel Nut Zippers, who became an unlikely success when their skewed take on vintage hot jazz, "Hell," became a modern rock hit in 1996. While the 's mélange of hot jazz, jump blues, and prewar pop was distinctive enough, it only represented the tip of the iceberg of Mathus' many influences. After setting out on his own, he dug deep into country blues (Play Songs for Rosetta), blues-shot rock & roll (National Antiseptic), honky tonk country (Jimmy the Kid), and moody roots rock (Stop and Let the Devil Ride), while often jumping from genre to genre within a single album (Confederate Buddha). Regardless of which direction he takes on any given project, the connecting thread is always the music of his native Mississippi and his roots in the blues that connects it all.
