As a teenager in Chicago, where his father was teaching theology, he heard a concert by harmonica player Big Walter Horton, and, he recalls, &#8220;I was absolutely stunned and in awe.&#8221; With that, his future as a blues musician was set.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Inetta Visor joined the band in 2001 after she decided to call the band to offer her services, but as she was looking for the band manager\u2019s phone number, the phone rang and it was the <b>Mississippi Heat<\/b> manager calling to invite her to join them. Inetta won the Best Blues Singer competition at the House of Blues (Chicago) on July10, 2003.<\/p>\n<p>As for the rest of <b>Mississippi Heat<\/b>, they are, in the words of the Chicago Sun-Times, &#8220;quite simply the hottest band in Chicago&#8221;\u2014and in a town filled with great blues bands, that&#8217;s saying a lot!<\/p>\n<p>The 2013-2014 performance season at the Dennos Museum Center is made possible with support from the Robert T and Ruth Haidt Trust, and the Osterlin Performance Endowment with media support from<\/p>\n<p>WNMC 90.7, WCMU Public Broadcasting and TV 29&amp;8.
