Some of the region’s top bluegrass bands will converge at Vinoski Winery in Belle Vernon April 30, 2021, for the annual bluegrass concert benefit for St. Joseph’s House of Hospitality.
The annual St. Joseph’s bluegrass concert is considered the kick-off of the region’s bluegrass festival season, which takes full-flight during the summer.
“Over the years, the concert has traditionally signaled the beginning of the bluegrass season,” says Bruce Mountjoy, the longtime host of the Bluegrass Jam Session program on WYEP-FM and the benefit concert’s MC since it began in 1999.
The concert, with tickets available for a donation of only $25, will start at 7 pm.
All proceeds benefit St. Joseph House of Hospitality, Catholic Charities’ residence for men 50 years and older who have been homeless or threatened with imminent homelessness. Located in Pittsburgh’s Hill District, St. Joe’s provides private rooms, a full meal service, and support for transitional and permanent residents. The facility houses up to 60 men, over a third of whom are veterans.
