| Joseph Isaacs and the Flying Dogs (Billy J Carter lead guitar, Rich Levinson congos, and Casey Patocki bass) 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 |
