Mississippi Heat stands as one of the longest running bands in Chicago, as well as a launching pad for many blues players who’ve gone on to successful solo careers. MH’s alumni reads like a Who’s Who of Chicago Blues past and present: Billy Flynn, Lurrie Bell, Carl Weathersby, Kenny “Beedy Eyes” Smith, Deitra Farr, Bob Stroger, Calvin “Fuzz” Jones, James Wheeler, Barrelhouse Chuck, Jon McDonald, Robert Covington, Bob Carter and more.

Mississippi Heat’s personnel may have changed over the decades, but the heart and soul of the music remains with Pierre Lacocque, who directs the band with his highly creative, virtuosic harmonica skills, stellar songwriting and artistic vision. MH embodies the traditional Chicago blues ensemble style, but Lacocque sometimes adds in some zydeco, world beats, Latin and jazz for spice; it’s not surprising since the Israeli-born native (of Christian parents from Belgium) has lived in and traveled to many different countries.

After playing harmonica in various blues bands in both Chicago and Canada (where he attended college) Lacocque formed his own band in 1991 (along with Jon McDonald, Bob Stroger and Robert Covington). Since then, Mississippi Heat has become an internationally acclaimed, beloved band that always features Chicago’s top talent playing original music. MH has performed all over the world, including the U.S., Canada, Europe, Mexico, South America and Northern Africa.

Tommy Patterson was born and raised in the small town of Comanche, Texas. Inspired by his childhood memories and the people who influenced him,
Tommy is just a good old boy who loves telling little stories with his music. A jack of all trades when it comes to talent (oil painting, handmade knives, breathtaking reproductions of the local Indian culture},
his main love is his music. Give him a topic and a few words and he can write you a song. Debbie Mills recorded one of Tommy's songs, "This Little Church I Grew Up In", and it was number one on the radiomusicdj chart in July 2021.
Tommy is currently working on a new album, and it should be available in spring of 2026.
