Miss Freddye and her Homecookin' Band

Pittsburgh’s Lady of the Blues is back at it again with an annual charity concert. Miss Freddye is set to provide the rhythm and blues at Springdale Veteran’s Hall. Although Miss Freddye’s charity performances have occurred all across the city of Pittsburgh — with concerts in support of Toys for Tots, Relay for Life and Domestic Violence Awareness — the Rachel Carson Homestead & Association, a historic-preservation group, will be the sole beneficiary of this evening’s proceeds. Get ready for a cash bar, gift baskets and 50-50 raffles. Miss Freddye may be bringing the music, but the Rachel Carson Homestead is going to be the real star. -EB
