Chuck Prophet and Mission Express

Bluesbreaker Beats The Rain


OneWorld Stage - Friday

Making a start on a wet and muddy Glastonbury Friday lunchtime is no mean feat – but the grooving Southern fried blues of Chuck Prophet and his Mission Express started to warm the crowd with some down and dirty (literally) guitar twang.

His Californian drawl, deliciously grungy guitar tone and his horizontal attitude to all things rainy made for a pleasing effort that spread smiles and bobbed heads among the few hundred punters bearing the rain.

Slipping from funk grind to a throbbing ballad – with a song called ‘I Bow Down Before Every Woman I Meet’ and his hit single ‘I’m Gone’, Prophet took his Telecaster out for a spin and then some with some grinding, soul-drenched solos with impassioned bends complete with chicken strut – this was just a taste of the delights ahead.
