Before the event, Jamie and friends will enjoy lunch with Blues Queen, Ms. Diunna Greenleaf, at Central Barbeque, Memphis.
Following the awards ceremony, Blues Disciples will head to Water Valley, Mississippi, to meet with local musician and venue owner Justin Showah at the Crawdad Hole. Justin produced and performed on the only published recording made by Delta blues legend L.C. Ulmer. The group will then travel to Clarksdale, Mississippi, to explore the rich blues heritage of the region, including visits to the Highway 61 Blues Museum, the Grammy Awards Museum, and several blues venues and juke joints.
They will also attend a fundraiser for the Pinetop Perkins Foundation at a blues jam at Ground Zero to benefit children and the elderly.
