The Mississippi Dreamboats is a Newcastle-based traditional New Orleans revivalist jazz band formed in 1975 by husband-and-wife duo Paul and Liz Bacon . Known for a "rock solid" rhythm and authentic style, they frequently play across the North East of England and beyond, often featuring a five to seven-piece lineup.
Paul Bacon published a non-fiction book (2025) detailing his "wanderlust" journeys in the jazz scene, reflecting on his life as a musician.More information and purchasing options for the book can be found on Amazon or at book stores including Waterstones
