🎶 Lineup That’ll Leave You Breathless
- 4:00–5:00 PM – Mr. B: Expect soulful rhythms and piano-driven blues brilliance from one of the nation’s finest boogie-woogie stylists.
- 5:30–7:00 PM – Thornetta Davis: Get ready to be moved by the voice dubbed “Detroit’s Queen of the Blues,” with a performance full of raw soul and undeniable energy.
🎹 Why the Venue Matters
BCPA, located at 7878 Brighton Rd, isn’t just any concert hall. As Whitney McClellan-Stone of 2 Stones Events puts it:
“The BCPA is one of the best venues for live performances in southeast Michigan — great acoustics, ample free parking, and an incredible nine-foot Steinway that’ll shine when Mr. B takes the stage!”
🍎 A Concert That Gives Back: Join the Food Drive
This isn’t just a concert — it’s a cause. Attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable food donations for the Livingston Hunger Council. Every donated item or dollar makes a local impact. Did you know that just $1 = 3 meals for families in our own community?
