Bruce played a three song set of his own, and guitars in the stellar house band at this venue in another benefit produced by Michael Sansonia last year, a rousing success for all. This year Bruce reprises a mini-set and rejoins an all star house band on guitar duties. Here is a light edit of Michael's invitation:
Have you ever had the thought, on a wintry Sunday afternoon, "Gee, I wish I could go someplace and hear a legendary folk performer, an award-winning cabaret singer, a couple of Grammy winners, some members of Bruce Springsteen's band, a long-running comedy troupe, a father/son poetry/rap duo, a world-class swing band, several other performers of various styles, AND support a great cause while I'm doing it?" Then, boy, do we have a show for you!
On Sunday, February 24, UUCCN will host a benefit concert in cabaret style for Doctors Without Borders, the world's leading medical relief organization, often operating in countries where there is no existing medical infrastructure.
Performers include Bill Vanaver, three time MAC Award winner Marcus Simeone, Bruce Markow, Henry Chapin, Marty Cutler, Chicago City Limits, Li'l Mo, Gathering Time, Phil Minissale, and many, many others. Backed by a band to include Larry Eagle and Art Baron (of Bruce Springsteen's Seeger Sessions Band), Frank London (of The Klezmatics), Jim Witherspoon, Kenny Kosek, Jim Whitney, Skip Krevins, Bruce Markow, Michael Sansonia, John Licitra, Martha Hyde, Tigger Benford and more.
Light supper and snacks will be available. 100% of the proceeds will go to DWB.
