Detroit’s rich musical legacy spans decades and transcends genres. At the forefront of this musical innovation were black artists, whose influence on jazz, gospel, and soul music impacted later genres like rock, pop, hip-hop, and house music. Join Kimmie Dobos Wolfe from the Detroit Historical Society to learn more about the vibrant history of music in the Motor City -- from Motown artists like the Supremes and Aretha Franklin to music halls across Paradise Valley, and from iconic jazz spots like The Blue Bird Inn to dance venues like Club Heaven.This event is for registrants ages 18+
