Mississippi Heat
From the earliest days of Mississippi Heat it was Pierre Lacocque's intention to assemble a group of the best Chicago blues veterans around to play original music in the tradition of the great Chicago blues bands of the 1950's. Mississippi Heat has gone through a lot of changes, but certain elements of the band's winning formula have remained constant. Pierre has remained the driving force behind the band. One of today's tastiest Chicago blues harp players, Pierre Lococque has a knack for soulful melodies, tone, and phrasing. His harmonica playing is rooted in tradition but is always fresh and void of cliche's.
