The Ninth Annual Blues & Burritos will be held on Sept. 18.
The event is hosted by the law firm of Homesley, Goodman & Wingo, PLLC and takes place on the front lawn of the firm's office in the historic Isaac Harris House at 330 S. Main St., Mooresville.
Max Drake and Pat "Mother Blues" Cohen will be special guest performers joining the Part Time Blues Band. Main Street will be closed in front of the office to provide more room for the event.
All costs associated with the event are underwritten by the law firm. There is no admission fee but donations are encouraged. All donations will be divided equally between the Health Reach Community Clinic and the Mooresville Soup Kitchen.
Some other organizations benefiting from the event in the past are the American Red Cross, Friends of the Library, the Mooresville Christian Mission, the Dove House and the Depot Arts Center.
The featured band, Part-Time Blues Band, with the legendary guitarist Rusty Barkley, (www.parttimebluesband.com) is second to none in the Blues and Blues/Rock field. Mother Blues Cohen will join the band for a special performance. Cohen performed for years on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, moving to North Carolina after Katrina.
Max Drake will join both bands onstage. Max honed his guitar skills with many blues greats over the years, including Lightning Hopkins and "Steady Rollin'" Bob Margolin. Max's band, Arhooly, was a staple on the blues circuit for many years.
Artist Richard Sinclair (www.artintheshop.net) and as well as artists from the Depot Art Center will have their artwork on display and available for sale.
The law firm provides complimentary beverages from Carolina Beer & Beverage Company, Mooresville's brewer of Carolina Blonde (www.carolinablonde.com), and burritos from Pueblo Grande of Mooresville. The event is from 6-10 p.m.
