PHILADELPHIA, Miss. (AP) - Actor Morgan Freeman is opening his second blues club in Mississippi.
This one will be outside the Mississippi Delta.
Freeman announced that he will open a Ground Zero Blues Club at the Pearl River Resort run by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians in Neshoba County. The original club, owned with businessman Bill Luckett, is in Clarksdale.
The club will be located in the Golden Moon Hotel and Casino, one of the Choctaws’ two casinos near Philadelphia.
Freeman said the club should be completed in October.
Freeman and tribal chief Beasley Denson said the new club will feature blues music and the restaurant will serve fried or grilled catfish sandwiches and the club’s famous Highway 61 Burger.
