Breakfest 2010 to Benefit Breakfast at St. Andrews

For 27 years, men and women in need have made their way to St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in the early hours of the morning, in all seasons, for a cup of coffee and a hot breakfast. Some are struggling with the hardships of poverty; some are homeless; others are in transition and recovering from life's setbacks. All are welcome. The heart and soul of the Breakfast at St. Andrew's is belief in the gifts and responsibilities of community and commitment to the role each of us can play in extending a compassionate hand. Lending their help this evening are four wonderful artists. Saline native and D.C.-area fiddler Bonnie Rideout is the first woman to hold the U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion title and the creator of 13 albums and seven music books for Mel Bay Publishing. Virginia-born Duck Baker, who now lives in London, is among the most highly regarded fingerstyle guitarists of his generation. He is unique among jazz guitarists in that his repertoire spans the entire history of the music from ragtime through swing to modern masters like Thelonious Monk and Herbie Nichols to free improvisation. This is his first local appearance. Rev. Robert Jones, Sr., pastor of the Sweet Kingdom Missionary Baptist Church in Detroit , has been a champion of American roots music for more than 25 years. As a performer, radio host on WDET-FM ( Detroit ) and educator, he has introduced new audiences around the country to the music Rev. Gary Davis, Blind Willie Johnson, Rev. Dan Smith, Joshua White, Blind Connie Williams and Rev. Robert Wilkins, as well as his original compilations. And Trenton, Michigan songwriter Bill Bynum and his band can lean into bluegrass, veer toward country, or take listeners on a unique journey through Bill's original songs. He's an Ark favorite, and all these artists will make you glad you decided to come and lend a hand for a good cause.
