Saturday, 4/23
Detroit Blues Piano Unplugged
@ The Scarab
Love the sound of the porcelain keys? As a part of the Detroit Blues Heritage Series, Saturday is dedicated to the pianists. The event, titled Detroit Blues Piano Unplugged, will feature the musical talents of jazz and blues pianist Kerry Price, as well as the fast fingers of The Boogie Woogie Kid, Matthew Ball. Price, also a vocalist in a jazz band, will play jazzy melodies, perhaps accompanied by her impressive and extensive vocal range. The Boogie Woogie Kid Ball will be throwing back to the swing era, playing ragtime, blues, and boogie-woogie classics with the vocal accompaniment of Emma Aboukasm.
Doors at 2 p.m.; 217 Farnsworth St., Detroit; detroitbluessociety.org; Admission is free, $5 donation recommended.
