The Dennos Museum Center at Northwestern Michigan College will present the Chicago based blues group Mississippi Heat on Saturday, January 11, 2014 at 8 PM in Milliken Auditorium. Tickets are $25 advance, $28 at the door and $22 for museum members are plus fees. Tickets may be purchased by calling the Museum Box office at 231-995-1553 or on line at www.dennosmuseum.org, also at 1-800-836-0717 or www.MyNorthTickets.com.
Mississippi Heat has recorded ten albums and taken its brand of the blues from Chicago to the four corners of the world. They play heartfelt vintage Chicago Blues, led by world-class harmonicist Pierre Lacocque and lead singer Inetta Visor, a powerhouse vocalist in the Etta James tradition.
Mississippi Heat bandleader and blistering harmonica player Pierre Lacocque came to Chicago from Brussels, Belgium, where he was the only non-Jew ever to attend the Athenée Maimonides school—his Christian minister father felt that he should learn about the suffering of the Jews. As a teenager in Chicago, where his father was teaching theology, he heard a concert by harmonica player Big Walter Horton, and, he recalls, “I was absolutely stunned and in awe.” With that, his future as a blues musician was set.
Whether this is your first time taking an online course or you just need some additional help with Moodle, two Moodle Orientation and Open Lab sessions will be held:
Student Health Services will be closed December 21 through January 5, and reopen on Monday, January 6. (more…)
