The Blues is more than just a genre of music – it’s about community, it’s about soul, it’s about celebrating together, it’s about storytelling. Join us as we celebrate the Blues for all that it is, and all that it influences.

With a career spanning five decades and yielding six Grammy Award wins, Don Was is an absolute legend. His newly released album, Groove in the Face of Adversity, brings together talented career musicians (enter: The Pan-Detroit Ensemble) who channel the soul of the Motor City through a blend of steamy jazz, juke-joint blues, and loose-limbed funk — a sound both timeless and deeply personal. Their July 4th set at this year’s Waterfront Blues Festival not to be missed!
