Our Headliner Act for Mississippi Comes to Arkansas - Part II on Friday September 26th, 2025:
Meet Vasti Jackson: a world-renowned guitarist, vocalist, and Mississippi blues legend, who’s basically the human embodiment of a guitar solo that makes you feel things. This guy’s been rocking for over 43 years, and if you haven’t seen him live yet, you're probably missing out on a soul-shaking, sweat-drenched, foot-stomping good time. And if that’s not enough, he’s also a 2012 Mississippi Musicians Hall of Fame inductee and the proud recipient of the 2015 Albert King Lifetime Guitar Award, which is like the Grammy of the guitar world—except it probably comes with a cool story and a guitar that could literally melt your face off.
Vasti’s performances? Think of a rock concert mixed with a spiritual awakening and a blues party where everyone’s invited. His guitar playing isn’t just innovative—it’s practically magic, and his vocals could make a grown man cry...in a good way. It's not just music; it's an experience that grabs you by the heart and shakes you until you’re dancing, clapping, and wondering why you’ve never heard a guitar sing like that before.
So, if you’re lucky enough to catch him live, prepare to leave with your soul replenished and a permanent grin plastered on your face. Vasti Jackson isn’t just a blues legend; he’s a one-man groove machine that will leave you in awe—and probably questioning how you’ve lived so long without his music.
