NASHVILLE, TN. (Soles4Souls Inc.) - Jim Belushi, popular movie actor and star of ABC's successful sitcom "According to Jim," has agreed to act as Master of Ceremonies for the Opening Night at WSA Concert in Las Vegas, an event benefiting Soles4Souls Inc. and the Two Ten Footwear Foundation. The private concert is open for attendees of the semi-annual WSA Show, the world's largest footwear and accessories marketplace. The concert will be held on Thursday, February 1st at 6:30 and features six Hall of Fame rock and roll acts, including Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bo Diddley, Mary Wilson and Booker T. & The MGs. "We are delighted that Jim Belushi has agreed to be our Master of Ceremonies for the Opening Night at WSA Concert," said Wayne Elsey, Founder of Soles4Souls and President of Kodiak-Terra, USA Inc. "He is a perfect choice to emcee the concert because he will entertain the concert goers while bringing more awareness to the mission of Soles4Souls and the Two Ten Footwear Foundation," he said. The concert originally featured James Brown as headliner, but due to Brown's unexpected death on Christmas Day, Little Richard agreed to take over as the headline act. In honor of Brown's memory, Soles4Souls has agreed to donate 100,000 pairs of shoes to African countries. The footwear will be delivered during 2007 on several international relief trips.
