THREE OAKS — Mississippi Heat and special guest Anne Harris perform at 8 p.m. Jan. 26 at The Acorn, 107 Generations Drive.

Led by harmonica master and songwriter Pierre Lacocque, the Chicago-based Mississippi Heat plays what it calls “traditional blues with a unique sound.”

Mississippi Heat’s name is a reflection of Lacocque’s reverence for Mississippi’s blues culture and music. The band’s conviction is that there is no deeper music than Delta-inspired blues to express what lies in everyone’s soul.

Harris is an internationally recognized fiddle player and singer-songwriter who has released seven records, including her most recent, 2019’s “Roots,” and 2008’s “Live at The Acorn Theater.” Her collaborations, live and in-studio, span a large and diverse group of artists, including Otis Taylor, Guy Davis, JP Soars, Jason Ricci, Cathy Richardson, Anders Osborne, and Jefferson Starship.
