Grammy-nominated blues singer and Mississippi native Dorothy Moore has gathered some of the best gospel and blues musicians in Mississippi for a concert and brunch benefiting needy blues artists. Performers include Bobby Rush, Ralph Miller, Billy Winston, EDIFY, Bob Gates, and others. Benefiting the Blues Foundation/HART Fund, proceeds go toward helping struggling blues artists with anything from medical costs to burial fees. Schimmel's owner Jay Schimmel has created two new dishes especially for the brunch: eggs benedict with grilled eggplant and a three-cheese casserole served with fried green tomatoes.
