Bassist Chris Chew will rejoin North Mississippi Allstars earlier than expected. Chew was originally slated to perform with his longtime band at Memphis, TN’s Minglewood Hall on November 23 but he will now join the band in early October. The bassist will perform with the band at both Chicago, IL’s Vic Theatre on October 5 and Milwaukee, WI’s The Rave on October 6.

These will be Chew’s first full-length performances since suffering from a diabetic coma earlier this summer. Missing Cats will share the bill on both nights.
