Tonight at Bar Reis playing Delta Blues: Moira Meltzer-Cohen and her dad, blues guitarist Andy Cohen.

Remember Moira? She's the awesome Bar Reis bartender who is now getting her law degree at CUNY Law School. She comes from a family of civil rights lawyers and blues guitarists and is really an awesome gal.

According to Mo, her dad is "one of the most seriously awesome guitarists you will ever see." Mo loves to sing and they're going to play a set of pre-war Delta Blues to raise money to benefit the Mississippi Project at CUNY School of Law.

There is no cover but they are soliciting donations (which can be tax dediuctible if you write a check) which will go to the material and administrative costs of sending 15 law students (including Moira) to the Mississippi Delta and New Orleans to volunteer with the ACLU and the Innocence Project to provide legal aid to citizens who need it most.

It's all happening on Wednesday night 7-9 p.m:
Bar Reis
375 Fifth Avenue near 6th Street in Park Slope
