The couple, who have performed at dozens of benefits for fellow musicians over the years are now the recipients of such a benefit concert. Sunday, November 19 will see everyone from Jackson Delta to Bobby Watson, to Al Black and the Steady Band, and many others perform at the Venue from 1 to 10 p.m. Tickets are $25, available at Moondance and The Venue, and if you are a business, it’s a good opportunity to hang a poster, or contribute to the raffle table.
