About this Show
Oliver “Mississippi” MacDonald – a singer, guitarist and songwriter from London, England – speaks quietly but makes music with real gravitas. Olly (as friends call him) is a rising star, having been honoured with a session by Cerys Matthews on her BBC Radio 2 Blues show and championed by Mojo. Both his fellow musicians and music industry pundits predict big things for MacDonald. His 2022 album Heavy State Loving Blues demonstrated how MacDonald’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.
