Bridging the Blues is becoming as synonymous with October as the harvest of the crops here in the Mississippi Delta.  Yes, it’s that time of year.  The combines and cotton pickers have been greased and readied for their work in the fields and the line-ups have been set for great live music to be found throughout the entire region.

The 3^rd annual music pilgrimage to the Birthplace of America’s Music has begun and Blind Mississippi Morris is back in Tunica for another great evening of live blues music.  Named as one of the 10 best harmonica players in the world by Bluzharp magazine, Morris will perform from one of the Delta’s most unique venues – the Gateway to the Blues Visitor Center Stage alongside Blues Highway 61 on Wednesday, October 8^th at 5:30 pm. 

Take a look at our video from last year’s event and then pack up your lawn chair to enjoy this free concert.  And don’t forget your smartphone to tweet along with @TunicaMS and @TunicaBlues.
