On July 22, 2025, British artist 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐬𝐨𝐧 will open the second night of the Baronissi Blues Festival.
Hey everyone, it’s Mick Simpson here!
I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be opening the second night of the Baronissi Blues Festival on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. Can’t wait to bring my guitar and some serious blues vibes to this amazing event in Italy!
It’s been over 40 years since I first picked up a guitar professionally — I started back in the ’80s as a session player on the London scene, and what a ride it’s been. One of the highlights of my career was playing at B.B. King’s 80th birthday celebration in June 2005, right at his legendary blues club in New York. An unforgettable moment.
There’s still so much I want to share with you through my music — and I hope to see you there as we dive into an evening of soul, blues, and rock.
