Mitchell Brown and the Twickenham Orchestra brought their popular THE KING LIVES ON to a sold out crowd in Huntsville, Friday, February 23, at the Von Braun Center Concert Hall. The concert honored "Aunt" Eunice Merrell.
For many years, Aunt Eunice hosted "Biscuit Breakfasts" at her restaurant Eunice's Country Kitchen as a fundraiser to benefit the Arthritis Foundation. In 2001, when Aunt Eunice's health was such that she could no longer host the breakfast fundraisers, Mitchell and the band took over and began their concerts in honor of Aunt Eunice, once again benefiting the Arthritis Foundation. When Aunt Eunice passed away on February 17, 2004, Mitchell and the band decided they would continue to hold the concert in Aunt Eunice's memory.
