We will talk about what dyestuffs work the best, how to preserve the color as long as possible, and artistic approaches such as composition and technique. Come with curiosity, wonder and a good attitude and get ready to learn something new!

The BCPA (Brighton Center for the Performing Arts) and 2 Stones Events are partnering on Brighton Blues Bash! — an evening featuring two of metro-Detroit’s finest acts: Boogie-woogie blues piano master Mr. B, and Detroit’s Queen of the Blues, Thornetta Davis, presented by Cooper & Binkley Jewelers.
This event will include a food drive for the Livingston Hunger Council, and attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable item. Of course, they’ll also take a monetary donation — every dollar donated provides three meals locally.

Tickets are $25 for the Main Floor and $15 for the balcony online before Sept. 7. Prices will increase to $35 and $25 day-of at the door.
ABOUT MR. B
Blues and boogie-woogie pianist Mark Lincoln Braun has become one of the premiere purveyors of a vanishing art. Having learned his craft first-hand from the early masters, he is a rare living link to the first generation of blues and boogie pianists. Steeped in the rich legacy of this tremendously exciting music, Mr. B learned directly from blues and boogie legends like Little Brother Montgomery, Boogie Woogie Red, and Blind John Davis.
In demand for both educational programs and concert performances, he has performed coast to coast and throughout Europe, Canada, Mexico, and South America. In 2002 and 2016, he was a guest artist at the Irving S. Gilmore International Keyboard Festival. He is also the organizer of the annual Mr. Bʼs Blues and Boogie Piano Celebration that attracts major figures in the blues and jazz piano world to Ann Arbor for collaborative performances with Mr. B.
ABOUT THORNETTA DAVIS
Crowned Detroit’s Queen of the Blues, international singer/songwriter/recording artist Thornetta Davis has opened for blues legends such as B.B. King, Ray Charles, Etta James, Koko Taylor, Johnny Johnson, Bonnie Raitt and more. A 2018 Kresge Foundation honoree, she also won the 2023 Blues Foundation Blues Music Awards for Best Soul/Blues vocalist female. A winner of over 30 Detroit Music Awards, Davis received six of those honors in 2018 and also won several in 2017 for her album Honest Woman (including Outstanding Record Producer, Outstanding Blues Recording, Outstanding Blues Vocalist and Outstanding Live Performance).
In 2017, the winner of awards from Blues Blast Magazine (Best Soul/Blues Album) and Big City Rhythm & Blues Magazine (Coolest Blues Song) also garnered international attention by winning first place in the International Songwriting Competition for Best Blues Song (“I Believe Everything Is Gonna Be Alright”), and the following year earned the prestigious French La Academie du Jazz Award for Best Blues Album (Honest Woman).
From Down Beat Magazine’s 2018 Monterey Jazz Fest performance review: “The follow-up at the Garden Stage on Saturday blew the crowd away. In her first time performing at Monterey, Detroit’s Queen of the Blues, Thornetta Davis, sang with no-nonsense sass, fearless in her missives against lovers, as she preached the Blues.”

“A powerful and nuanced family saga.” ~~ Kirkus Reviews
“A raw and unapologetic examination of the generational damage suffered by the family of a convicted killer.” ~~ Rob Jung, author of The Reaper, an Amazon best-seller.
At the Wake is an unflinching exploration of family, legacy, and the long shadow cast by one man’s life. Achiel Van Slyck was a man of contradictions-a war hero who took pride in his service, but also a vindictive neighbor, a volatile father, and a man whose actions shattered lives, including his own. When he murdered Clifford Ellis in 1975, the crime sent shockwaves through his family and community, leaving scars and secrets that would ripple across generations.

Achiel Van Slyck was a man of contradictions-a war hero who took pride in his service, but also a vindictive neighbor, a volatile father, and a man whose actions shattered lives, including his own. When he murdered Clifford Ellis in 1975, the crime sent shockwaves through his family and community, leaving scars and secrets that would ripple across generations.
Through a kaleidoscope of perspectives-his wife, children, siblings, and even his victims-Achiel’s story unfolds in fragments, revealing a complex portrait of a man shaped by trauma, war, and a simmering rage. As each family member recounts their experiences, they grapple with the truths of their shared past, the weight of Achiel’s legacy, and their own struggles to reconcile love, anger, and loss.
Set against the backdrop of small-town dynamics and spanning decades, At the Wake delves into the messy, often painful process of confronting one’s history. It’s a tale of resilience, reflection, and the ways in which families try to move forward while bearing the imprint of the past. Michael David MacBride weaves a haunting and evocative narrative that challenges readers to ask: can we ever truly escape the shadows of our ancestors?

Ellen Abramson, Co-Founder, Braver Angels Alliance of Washtenaw County
Many of us have experienced strained relationships with family members or friends due to political differences. Some of us have even lost relationships.

Braver Angels is the largest grass roots, cross partisan organization in the country working to decrease fear and hate between ordinary people with differing political opinions. The goal is to disagree while listening to each other’s viewpoints with respect and curiosity. We are trying to understand the experiences, information sources, and values that underlie each other’s positions. We believe that disagreement is essential in a democracy and that demeaning and demonizing those who vote differently from us undermines civic life.
