Musical performers at the 21st Annual Double Decker Arts Festival play a different tune and resonate with the Oxford community

Michael Franti performs live at Double Decker.

Many musicians, at Oxford, Mississippi's Double Decker Arts Festival, were inspired or influenced by the late Jimi Hendrix.  Hendrix once said, "Music doesn't lie.  If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music."  Local artists, like Delta Springs and Riverside Voodoo, feel that it is their goal to help the audience understand the power of music.

On April 22 and April 23, 2016 , the Oxford Square was filled with unique musicians and audience members, alike.  Many audience members and performers agree that the music lineup was altered this year to include more "soulful blues artists" and "local artists."  Although on Saturday night, both the young and the old gathered to dance the night away.
