Joseph Isaacs and the
Music Matters  Showcase
I run a showcase of amazing musicians!  We take turns entertaining-
playing  4 song sets each and then going back around again.  Its an
eclectic mix of music, most of it acoustic, all of it wonderful, all of it
matters. You will be taken aback by the amount of talent we have in
this area.  Come out and check out what everyone has been talking
about.  Showcases are free, but donations to Bread for the City for
the Home
