Led by harmonica master and songwriter Pierre Lacocque, Mississippi Heat
is a world-class Chicago Blues Band. Their motto is “Traditional Blues
With A Unique Sound” as they present fresh yet vintage-based musical
ideas.
MISSISSIPPI HEAT’s name is a reflection of Pierre’s reverence for
Mississippi’s blues culture and music. The band’s conviction is that there
is no deeper music than Delta-inspired blues to express what lies in
everyone’s soul. They have received world-wide critical acclaim, including
from Living Blues Magazine: “MISSISSIPPI HEAT delivers its traditional urban
blues with a freshness, energy and competence that makes them a treasure on
today’s Chicago scene.”
Mississippi Heat is known internationally for their passionate blues
delivery. Overseas and national touring have been an integral part of their
work for decades. The band has appeared at many world-famous festivals
including many in the US (like the Pocono’s and the Chicago Blues
Festivals), Scandinavia, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, The
Netherlands, Canada, Tunisia, Finland, Venezuela and in Mexico, among many
others. Besides a scheduled European tour for 2018, they will also soon
perform in Dubai.
Buddy Guy has gone on record saying that it’s “been a long time since I
heard a good blues band like this.” And recently the band received this
critical acclaim from Bonnie Tallman at the Billtown Blues Festival
(Hughesville, PA): “Can’t find enough words to express how blown away
everyone was with the Mississippi Heat performance! It was spectacular in
every way.”
The band has made waves on the blues charts by regularly reaching the #1
spot on Living Blues Magazine’s radio charts.
