A WOMEN'S BLUES REVUE
14th  ANNUAL MOTHERS' DAY

BENEFIT AT THE SKIPPERDOME

Area musicians will present a benefit concert  Sunday, May 10, 5-9 pm, to bring attention to the problem of domestic violence.  The event began in 1996, and is held each Mother’s Day at Skipper’s Smokehouse in Tampa.  The monies raised are donated to area domestic violence agencies.  All of the performances are donated,  and volunteers from five areas shelters organize  and oversee the program, with an emphasis on fun and empowerment.  Blues and soul dance classics will be performed by vocalists Denise Moore and Nancy Johnson.    Guitarist Patty Sanphy will play with Laura Lee on keys,  and Sandy Ross on bass.  Drummer Jungle Denny McCarthy will round up the rhythm section.  The horn section has Diana Belcher on sax and Colleen Chrien on trombone.    There will also be musical guests of both genders throughout the evening, with a special appearance by Sugar and Spice.  Musical guests include George Pappas, blues harp,  Linda Faust, keys, Anne VanAtta, bass, and Tammy Hatch on slide guitar.  Appearing for the first time are the Southside Horns, featured on the last set with the headliners, Sugar and Spice.

The agencies which will benefit are CASA in St. Petersburg, The Haven in Clearwater, The Spring in Tampa, Sunrise of East Pasco, and the Salvation Army DV Program of West Pasco.   All will have volunteers on hand to help the community learn about the services they provide.
