Michael Messer，麦克·麦瑟，蓝调音乐家，专长于演奏丽声吉他和蓝调划棒吉他。

出生于1956年的英国，是一位杰出的滑棒吉他大师，他演奏过历史上几乎所有的形式，但同时，完全是一个独到的现代派大师。

His obsessive appetite for knowledge of the art is virtually unequalled. The Amarican magazine, “spirit” listed Messer as one of the greatest slide guitarists ever, alongside Duane Allman, Debashish Bhattacharya, Bob Brozman and Ry Cooder.

他追求艺术造诣上的态度是无与伦比的。在美国杂志“Spririt”上的，Michael Messer与Duane Allman, Debashish Bhattacharya, Bob Brozman 和Ry Cooder一起被列为最棒的滑棒大师之一。

Michael Messer是一位痴迷于布鲁斯并成为大师的人，与Eric Clapton等大师不同的是，他更专心于滑棒。可能国内很少有人熟悉Michael Messer，网上可以下载到的专辑也寥寥无几。这位1956年出生于伦敦Middlesex的滑棒大师，少年时代钟情于摇滚乐，二十出头开始混迹于Nashville，参与Roy Acuff、Hank Snow、Johnny Cash等人的家庭音乐聚会。回到英国后，他开始埋头钻研三角洲滑棒布鲁斯。

1979年，他买了他的第一支National共鸣器吉他。

1985年，他组队建立The Michael Messer Band，第一张专辑《Diving Duck》被《Q magazine》评价为：“《Diving Duck》干了Ry Cooder该干的事儿。 ”1999年出版的专辑《Slidedance》为他赢得了B.B.C.音乐奖的年度最佳原声布鲁斯艺人。专辑：1988 DIVING DUCK (vinyl LP) - PT Records1990 SLIDEDANCE - Minidoka1990 DIVING DUCK (CD) - Minidoka1990 HUMMINGBIRD (CD single) - Minidoka1993 RHYTHM OIL - Minidoka1995 MOONBEAT - Appaloosa1996 NATIONAL AVENUE - Scratch1998 SLIDEDANCE (re-release) - Koch1998 RHYTHM OIL (re-release) - Koch2001 KING GUITAR - Catfish2003 SECOND MIND - Catfish2006 LUCKY CHARMS - Cooking Vinyl2006 LUCKY CHARMS (single) - Cooking Vinyl2006 SECOND MIND (re-release) - Cooking Vinyl2006 KING GUITAR (re-release) - Cooking Vinyl2007 SECOND MIND - Soyuz (Russia)2007 KING GUITAR - Soyuz (Russia)2007 LUCKY CHARMS - Soyuz (Russia)
