This year’s Governor’s Arts Award for Excellence in Music was bestowed to none other than the legendary King Edward Antoine. A working musician for 67 years, King Edward has been a member of the Mississippi Arts Commission’s Artist Roster for 10 years, is a long-time member of the Central Mississippi Blues Society, is featured on three Mississippi Blues Trail makers and was also awarded a Peavey Award for his contribution to state’s musical legacy. He is here to tell his story, and I am honored to celebrate Mississippi’s authentic blues musician, King Edward Antoine.
