Bread
& Roses Launches "May Around the Bay"
Bread & Roses is launching a "May Around the Bay" outreach
program at a variety of public venues throughout the Bay Area.
"Bread & Roses presents shows to hidden audiences in places like homeless
shelters and hospitals. This is an opportunity for the music loving public
to learn more about our program from some of our volunteer performers in
this first annual May Around the Bay promotion of this concert series,"
said Cassandra Flipper, Bread & Roses Executive Director.
The goal is to educate the public about the value of live music and performing
arts for isolated audiences of all ages. Bread & Roses provides over
500 shows a year to people isolated in institutions in eight counties around
the Bay Area.

Bring your friends and help us spread the word about the following concerts:
In addition, Bread & Roses will have a presence at the Fillmore
in San Francisco on Saturday, May 5 with ALO
