A6 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2018 COMMUNITY BRIEFS Free concert offers slice of Bread A cover band that plays the music of Bread, an American soft rock group from the 1970s, will per- form a free concert in Hermiston. A Toast to Bread will take the stage Saturday at 7 p.m. in the Hermiston High School audito- rium, 600 S. First St. The group, which is based out of Utah, recently sold out a show in Brigham City. Jeff Snell of Hermiston was a big Bread fan growing up and when he heard about the tribute band, he made arrangements for the group to perform in town. After contacting several friends who are business owners and gaining the support of others, Snell secured enough spon- sorship to present the show free of charge. “I thought there are a lot of peo- ple that liked Bread,” he said. “I just hope a lot of people come.” In October 1971, Bread debuted at No. 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart with their single, “Baby I’m-A Want You.” The song peaked at No. 3 on Nov. 27, 1971, and was certified gold. Between 1970-77, Bread charted 13 singles on the Hot 100, which included 12 consecu- tive in the Top 40, six Top Tens and one No. 1 — “Make It With You.” For more information about the local concert, call Snell at 541-567- 5678.
