BIOGRAPHY

Nominated for a 2011 British Blues Award, this is genuine, original blues from the Thames Delta. The Yorkshire Times says “Mississippi is the 'real deal'….a gravelly rich authentic blues voice and the kind of acoustic guitar style that would have graced the porches of many a Clarksdale shanty town”

ABOUT THE BAND:

Mississippi MacDonald is 35, and has been playing and singing the blues since he was 11. He plays a sunburst Gibson J45 Custom, wears a trademark red suit and has travelled the blues highway from Clarksdale to Chicago. Mississippi has been to Al Green’s church on a Sunday, stood at the legendary cross roads, been on Beale on a Saturday night, and seen Jerry Lee Lewis kick over his piano stool. In 2008, he was part of the OV Wright Memorial Fund team in Memphis Tennessee who purchased a headstone for the unmarked grave of the Hi Records deep soul legend Overton Vertis Wright, along with Otis Clay, Roosevelt Jamieson, Hi Rhythm, and fans and musicians from around the world.
