Bio

Jimmy "Duck" Holmes is an American blues musician born in 1947 in Bentonia, Mississippi, widely regarded as the last of the Bentonia bluesmen. He is the longtime proprietor of the Blue Front Cafe, opened by his parents in 1948 and considered Mississippi's oldest surviving juke joint. His playing preserves the haunting, minor-key Bentonia style rooted in open tunings.
