Benefit Concert for Alejandro Escovedo
Following a show in Phoenix on April 26, 2003, acclaimed singer-songwriter and playwright Alejandro Escovedo collapsed and was hospitalized due to complications from Hepatitis C. He is currently at home in Texas, resting and undergoing treatment to alleviate the effects of his condition. Alejandro's rigorous touring schedule and recording
sessions for a new album that had begun the week before are both on hold as he recuperates. There is no health insurance to cover the mounting medical bills and loss of income as Alejandro continues to pursue treatment. In response to an outpouring of concern from friends, fans, and associates from across the nation, a trust has been established to
handle donations on his behalf.

Trinity House Theatre is joining forces with whfr.fm, 89.3FM in Dearborn, to host a benefit concert for Alejandro. Artists joining us include Jo Serrapere, Jill Jack, Chris Buhalis, and Penumbrae.

Jo Serrapere's diverse style fuses elements of modern and traditional folk music, Delta blues, swing, and rock. She has released two CD's
including a live recording with her band, Jo Serrapere and the Willie Dunns. Some highlights include a recent performance on Garrison
Keillor's radio program, A Prairie Home Companion.

Born and raised in the metro Detroit area, Jill Jack has been singing all her life, from church choirs to session work, to starting to write her own songs and put together her own band – all the while juggling those creative juices with the average, everyday American's life of work and family. Her latest CD, Love Hotel was released in 2001.

Chris Buhalis is not only a songwriter, but an accomplished performer; having appeared on radio's Acoustic Cafe and performing live at such
venerable and respected venues as the Ark in Ann Arbor, MI. Chris also recorded with the legendary Townes Van Zandt who makes a vocal appearance on Chris' debut CD, Kenai Dreams.

Formed in 2002, Penumbrae have built a collection of unique original songs ranging from folk to pop, rock to bluegrass. Influenced by the likes of Blind Melon, Tori Amos, Patty Larkin, REM and many others, they've performed throughout the Detroit area including shows at The Magic Bag and Xhedos Cafe.
