How Music Brings People Together


Discover how the blues—America’s first homegrown music—became a global language that connects cultures, generations, and genres around the world. Join the Alabama Blues Project on Friday, March 6, 2026, at 5 p.m. at the Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center for an evening celebrating our country's musical heritage.
