Boogie-Woogie Benefit Helps Seniors

Catholic Services of Macomb Hosts a Boogie-Woogie Benefit Concert to Help Out Under-Advantaged and Disabled Seniors.

The Catholic Services of Macomb will host a fundraiser concert of piano boogie-woogie music for its Senior Companion Program. 

The Senior Companion Program pairs volunteers with older adults who are homebound, isolated, and/or otherwise in need of support.  The purpose is to provide dependent or frail senior adults with companionship and non-medical assistance in the maintaining of their independence.

To help raise funds in support of this special cause, CSM has enlisted the help of Motor City’s own blues & boogie-woogie title-holder Matthew Ball, aka The Boogie Woogie Kid. Called “one of Michigan’s premier blues & boogie-woogie pianists,” Ball left a law career to pursue his passion for boogie-woogie and blues piano music. He has distinguished himself as one of the best in the field playing the genre today.  Joined by his wife Lisa on drums, you won’t want to miss this family friendly concert of piano fun!  For an introduction stop by www.boogiewoogiekid.com.

Here are the details:
