Wikipedia description:
Pierre Lacocque is an acclaimed and internationally renowned American blues harmonica player. His style has been influenced by the post-WWII Chicago blues tradition, and he was inducted into the Chicago Blues Hall of Fame in October 2017. He entered the Chicago scene in the late 1980s when, among other bands, he performed with The Blue Knights led by Tré, Doug McDonald and the Blue Mirror Band and Lawrence "Lil" Sonny Wimberly and his band, The Blues Invaders. In late 1991, he and his brother, Michel Lacocque (the band manager) founded Mississippi Heat with three other musicians. It was originally a quartet composed of guitarist-singer Jon McDonald, bassist Bob Stroger, drummer-singer Robert Covington and Pierre Lacocque, harmonicist and bandleader. Lacocque has since been Mississippi Heat's leader, harmonica player, producer, and primary composer and songwriter for the group. Mississippi Heat's slogan and mission statement is "Traditional Blues with a Unique Sound." The band's new recording Madeleine (Van der Linden Records) was released in 2021, following Cab Driving Man (2016, DE 848) and Warning Shot (2014, DE 839), both on Delmark Records.
