Mighty Mississippi is an acoustic Blues trio, paying tribute to the music once played on the porches and in the juke joints of the American South in the 1930's, '40s and '50s. In addition, Mighty Mississippi's repertoire follows the musical migration northward during that era, and includes acoustic versions of electric Blues that evolved in the nightclubs and bars of Memphis and Chicago in the 1950's and 1960's. Contemporary material and original compositions, rockabilly and swing, are all part of Mighty Mississippi's repository of acoustic music drawing its inspiration from the Blues.
Since 2007, Mighty Mississippi has been delivering gutsy acoustic Blues with heartfelt lyrics to appreciative audiences. The band has played some of the best live music venues in the San Francisco Bay Area, including Biscuits & Blues, JJ's Blues, and the Plough & Stars; as well as fairs and festivals, restaurants, clubs, wineries, pubs and wine bars, private parties and corporate events.
Performances by Mighty Mississippi have been described by clients and critics as: "fantastic", "amazing", "down home" and "rockin'". The band has consistently been ranked in the top 10 of ReverbNation's Blues Charts for the San Francisco Bay region.
With an expansive song list, we can tailor any performance to the client's needs. When the music is meant to remain in the background, we can deliver down tempo Blues in a soft, yet emotional, manner. When you need toe-tapping Blues, we'll have folks dancing in the aisles.
On the big stage, we can open for an electric band with a compliment of "country" Blues, or we can stand alone as the principal entertainment delivering a full range of material suitable for "uptown" clubs and the best of the juke joints.
For the smaller gigs, we are perfect for the private party that wants all the swing of a big electric band, but without the screaming neighbors. We deliver style, a touch of class, and a heaping spoonful of Southern comfort.
If you like the Blues, the real Blues, you'll love Mighty Mississippi.
For clients without access to a professional grade PA, we carry with us a full compliment of equipment to amplify our acoustic sound for virtually any venue, hall, room, or outdoor area.
