About this Event

Body: Hugh Grinnell explores the history and lore of a fading moment in Detroit retail history: the 102-year story of the Grinnell Brothers Music House. He traces its development from its beginnings under its sibling co-founders, through its mid-century peak, to its dissolution in 1981. Along the way, he shares anecdotes and musings that reveal a different side of Detroit's musical heritage.
