About Hastings Street
In the heart of Detroit’s Black Bottom and Paradise Valley, Hastings Street was once the lifeblood of jazz, blues, and Black culture in the city. From the 1930s through the 1950s, Hastings Street thrived with nightclubs, after-hours spots, and performance venues where legends like John Lee Hooker, Big Maceo, and countless jazz greats got their start. It was more than a street — it was a cultural epicenter where music, community, and resilience converged, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire generations.
