About Black Cherry Perry's Mississippi Medicine Show

Vocalist/harp player Black Cherry Perry conceived the Mississippi Medicine Show in the fall of 2003, while on a trip to the Mississippi Delta, just south of Memphis. Scouring juke joints and festivals, he saw first hand how the Delta musicians approached their music and their performance. A chance meeting with a young gypsy woman in West Helena, Arkansas helped create a musical vision that has sin...ce become the Mississippi Medicine Show. Led by charismatic singer/harmonica player, "Black Cherry Perry", Black Cherry Perry's Mississippi Medicine Show has burst onto the Calgary music scene. "Blues for people who don't like blues" is one description that's been given about the band. "Dancing blues", "party blues" and even "biker blues" are other declarations audiences have used to describe the blending of The Rolling Stones, Muddy Waters, Led Zeppelin, Willie Dixon, ZZ Top, SRV and CCR into the band's unique musical and visual presentation. This is a band that loves playing together, and loves the songs themselves. This is reflected in the way audiences respond to their infectious live performances. Witness this musical love affair for yourself...
