Episcopal Metropolitan Ministries Benefit Jam

Greetings friends,

The following was forwarded to me by ECSET Missioner, The Rev. John Talbird:

"MUSIC BENEFIT FOR METROPOLITAIN MINISTRIES

On Thursday, June 4, at Rhythm & Brews, two well-regarded bands will perform a benefit for the Chattanooga Metropolitan Ministries. The Ministries is an Episcopal organization, supported by the Church, with a primary mission of helping those who are in danger of becoming homeless and those who have already suffered that difficult fate.
The show will be led off by Josh Edwards and the Sloan River Project. Although Josh lived in Chattanooga for many years, he is now based in Northern Virginia, where he joined Sam Hensley to form the Project and from where the band launches tours all over the Southeast. Like Josh and Sam, the Project’s music is mostly acoustic folk/rock, in the singer/songwriter tradition of tunes with strong personal stories and messages. For this show, the Project will be joined on bass guitar by Father Bob Leopold, of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church downtown, and by Steven Hopkins on guitar.
The second half of the show will be Kathy Tugman and DaHouse Band, joined by special guests, Fletcher Bright and David Walters. This set will combine rock and roll, country, Southern soul and classic jazz tunes. Kathy, known primarily these days for her jazz work with the David Walters Trio, rejoins her friends in DaHouse Band for an energetic and eclectic program that is sure to have the place jumping.
The cost is $10 per person, payable at the door. Thanks to Mike Dougher and Rhythm & Brews, all of the money collected will go to the Ministries. The show begins at 7. Doors open at 6. The venue, located at 221 Market Street downtown, will be non-smoking."

I will be there, actually as the bass player for both bands. I am able to fill in for each respective band's bassist - it should be fun and it goes to a great cause.

I hope that some of you can come out!

Thanks,
Bob
