Mississippi MacDonald - a singer, guitarist and songwriter from London, England - speaks quietly but makes music with real gravitas. A rising star, having been honoured with a session by Cerys Matthews on her Radio 2 Blues show and championed by Mojo magazine. MacDonald is the winner of the Best Traditional Blues Artist and Best Acoustic Act in the UK Blues Award 2024. His 2023 album Heavy State Loving Blues demonstrated how McDonald's gravitas has developed, matching his remarkable guitar playing with soulful vocals and strong original songs: here is a rising talent making his mark on the soul/blues scene. This album is also up for an award at the 2024 UK Blues Awards for Best Album. The current tour sees MacDonald backed by his three-piece band behind him, showcase the songs from his recent albums plus singles with the likes of Vaneese Thomas and Benny Turner.
