The Chitlins came together along the sandy shores of the Gulf of Mexico, in the coastal city of Gulfport, Mississippi. They take a back-to-the-basics approach to their "Southern fried" brand of music. Not relying on modern technology (auto-tune, synths, drum triggers...) to polish their sound. Influenced by the culture and traditions of the southern way of life. A bit rough around the edges, yet cooked up with true soul and served up piping hot!!!!
Nominated Best Mississippi Blues Band and Best New Artist 2017 by The Mississippi Music Foundation

“We love working with The Chitlins! And their fans - The Chitheads - are the best! They are our favorite band and never disappoint. Each performance and each new recording is better than the last. We can't wait to have them back again this year headlining the 10th Annual View The Cruise on the big stage for the 3rd year in a row. We will have thousands of people for this event and there's no other band out there to entertain the crowd the way that they do...all the way baby!”
