We are really looking forward to having Mississippi MacDonald with us in Durham. He recently collected two awards at the prestigious UK Blues Federation event: Traditional Blues Artist Of The Year 2024 and Acoustic Act Of The Year 2024.
MacDonald is an English Soul-Blues singer/songwriter/guitarist who has appeared on Cerys Matthews BBC Radio 2 Blues Show and has played live extensively in the UK and the US including a Blues Society showcase on Beale Street in Memphis during the International Blues Challenge.
He has recorded his music in the US with established artists Vaneese Thomas (Rufus Thomas), Benny Turner (Freddie King, Mighty Joe Young), and the Reverend Shawn Amos.
Mississippi’s first record ‘Do Right, Say Right’ was named in the top 10 Blues Albums of 2022 by MOJO Magazine, and was named album of the year on HRH Blues Radio. Touring his second album , ‘Heavy State Loving Blues’, he was described by Blues In Britain Magazine as ‘one of finest modern bluesmen in the U.K.’.
Mississippi MacDonald’s blues are authentic, heartfelt, and reflect a lifetime of learning from the greats.
