Boogie-Woogie Kid, Matthew Ball is proof that life can begin again at 30. A native Detroiter and graduate of Oakland University & the University of Detroit-Mercy Law School, Ball quickly found himself disillusioned by the day to day grind of office work & politics. In 2001 he attended a Motor City Boogie-Woogie & Blues Festival that became for him the start of a journey that would shape him into one of the Nation's leading boogie-woogie & blues pianists.
Matthew presents an absolutely wonderful Piano concert, tremendous virtuosity combined with a crowd pleasing repertoire. A fun American Roots program for all ages! It includes blues and boogie arrangements of classic American songs like Swanee River, Over the Rainbow, The Sheik of Araby, Bumble Boogie, Pinetops Boogie, Cow Cow Blues, and more. Matthew has heads bobbing, toes tapping, and tushes wiggling, leaving you in awe as his fingers fly across the keys. You won’t want to miss this family-friendly event of toe-tapping fun!
Tickets are: $10 at the door; Students $5; Children under 12 are free.

Dear Friend,
We need you to Volunteer. It takes 88 Volunteers each day of an event to bring the Museum & Historic Village to life. We need your help, you do not need to know anything about the Museum , we will teach you (painlessly). You do not need to be in Costume, you do need to be ready to have fun and meet new friends. We need people during events and whenever the office is open (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). Send an email or call the Museum.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Dr. Loop
