Gulfport Mayor Hewes writes song for movie

Gulfport mayor’s song to be featured in movie debut

The third try was a charm, and the song ‘Mississippi Christmas’ was born.

“I wanted to put a little bit of Mississippi flavor to it. There’s a couple of breaks in there that talk about B.B. and Elvis and Kermit and Eudora, just a lot of things about the hills, The Delta, the coastline, different regions of the state,” said Hewes.

Mayor Hewes says he did all the vocals himself, and he enlisted the help of a friend for lead guitarist.
