Save the date for Sunday, March 22, 2026 @ 4:00pm to enjoy ECPL's tribute concert for the “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul,” musician Mary J. Blige, performed by Hubb's Groove in our Greg L. Reese Performing Arts Center. Fusing gospel-inspired vocals with hip-hop swagger, nine-time Grammy-winner Mary J. Blige created a new R&B template. Embracing both vulnerability and strength, her songs resonated with legions of fans, particularly women, lighting the way for fellow artists to express deeper aspects of themselves within hip-hop culture. Beyond music, she inspired fashion, film and steadfast activism. Blige was inducted to Cleveland's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2024 by Dr. Dre and Method Man.
Stop by early or hang out afterwards for a photo op with a cardboard cutout of Mary J. Blige -- dress in style and get ready to listen to some fashionable tunes!
Free admission and limited seating, please arrive early to ensure your seat. Doors open at 3:00pm.
Thank you to our sponsors: KeyBank and Cleveland Foundation.
