Celebrating New York City’s Mosaics From the Root to the Fruit: Family Performance
The Journey of the Blues to New York City

The Blues evolved out of traditions such as African-American work songs, spirituals, and country string ballads more than a century ago, and its influence can be found in popular culture from jazz to rock and roll. Join Harlem’s legendary blues artist Keith “The Captain” Gamble and his ensemble on a journey through the rich history of the Blues as it made its way from the rural South to the Big Apple, complete with spoken word, horns, drums, and that sweet sound of the Blues, featuring songs from New York City Blues legends. Presented in celebration of Black History Month and in conjunction with Community Works.

FREE with Museum admission!
