“I am so happy to be a part of this event,” said Martin Howth. “Our intention is to raise funds and shine a spotlight on Bread & Roses, but to also foster a sense of community among local musicians, artists, and filmmakers. I am thrilled for any opportunity for connection between and within creative our communities.”
