Description
The Marr Street Playhouse presents Blues on the Black—a gathering of local musicians, a night of live music and dance, and a celebration of the blues of the South.
Hear big-name blues classics from the past fifty years, lesser-known bluesy/jazzy numbers, and more songs inspired by the blues’ greater influence. Lead Belly, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, and more, reimagined and performed by our own Marr Street Playhouse Band of musicians local to the Black River region. So much of the blues was born by a river, and much of it in Arkansas—which is why we are proud to present Blues on the Black.
