Mississippi Macdonald

BSW are thrilled to present Mississippi MacDonald, one of England’s finest Soul-Blues singer songwriters and guitarists, to Exeter Phoenix. A 3x UK Blues Award Winner and Take me to the River All Star, in 2025 and 2024 he won awards for both Traditional Blues Artist Of The Year and Acoustic Blues Act Of The Year. Since his signing to APM Records in 2021, he has appeared on BBC Radio 2’s Blues Show with Cerys Matthews and has played extensively in the UK and the USA, including a Washington State Blues Society showcase on Beale Street during the International Blues Challenge, appearances on King Biscuit Time (Helena AK), and Radio Memphis. In May 2024, Mississippi was part of the Take Me To The River All Stars along with William Bell (Stax Records), the legendary Hi Rhythm section, Jools Holland and Eric Gales. Mississippi’s first record for APM, “Do Right, Say Right” was named in the top 10 Blues Albums of 2022 by Mojo Magazine. Since then, he has released further albums ‘Heavy State Loving Blues’ and ‘I got whatyou need’. Mississippi MacDonald’s blues are authentic, heartfelt, and reflect a lifetime of learning from the greats.
