The organization’s most significant fundraising event of the year, proceeds will support its ongoing program of hope and healing through live music for isolated audiences in Bay Area institutional settings. The benefit concert will be an epic celebration of 50 years of free live music and performing arts for children and youth, adults and seniors who are most in need of hope and healing.
The concert promises to be a powerful night of live performance in a spectacular intimate showcase. Grammy-winning singer-songwriter/musician Rickie Lee Jones' five-decade career includes a long history of supporting Bread & Roses with appearances at prior benefit concerts at the Herbst Theatre and Festival of Music at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. She is known for her wide range of songs in a jazz-rock style including her classic hit Chuck E's in Love on her debut album in 1979, which won a Grammy for "Best New Artist." She's recorded 15 studio albums. Her latest release Pieces of Treasure re-interprets the great American songbook and was nominated in 2024 for "Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album." Her recent memoir Last Chance Texaco: Chronicles of an American Troubadour takes us on her nomadic journey profiling her longevity as an iconic and legendary American female artist. www.rickieleejones.com
The War and Treaty, a powerful husband and wife duo, is breaking boundaries in blues, soul, country and rock. Founded in 2014 by Michael Trotter, Jr. and Tanya Trotter, the internationally renowned duo is one of the most electrifying acts in American music today. They received recent Grammy nominations for “Best New Artist” and “Best American Roots Song” for Blank Page. Their major label debut album “Lover’s Game” conveys how love is found through struggle and is widely acclaimed along with their latest collaboration “Hey Driver” with Zach Bryan. www.thewarandtreaty.com
Aaron Lee Tasjan is also returning to open the concert with a few of his thought-provoking and humorous songs. The Nashville-based indie singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist will perform his semi-autobiographical songs which speak of overcoming challenges and embracing change. A Grammy-nominated recording artist, his recent release "Stellar Evolution" celebrates love, is universal in appeal and inclusive in intention.

This concert is such a fantastic opportunity to blend music with community support! It could also inspire similar events elsewhere, Ragdoll Hit showing how art can unite and uplift those in need.
The strongman lifts impossible weight, but something else lifts him. The Freak Circus presents as a visual novel game, yet every act carries the tension of a horror game. Performers speak in riddles, exits move between shows, and the finale requires a guest who did not volunteer willingly.
What a fantastic lineup for the Fall Benefit concert! henry stickmin I appreciate how this event not only showcases incredible artists like Rickie Lee Jones but also supports such meaningful causes. Offering opportunities for local talent to shine could further enrich the experience!
I keep a tab open with Crazyig for when I need a break during work. They have a decent collection of browser games that run smoothly without any lag. The racing and shooting categories are where I usually end up spending most of my time.
