Here are Peter Whorf and Haley Taylor from 90.9 WRCJ with today's "One Detroit" weekend.
- Hey there, it's that time of the week where we get to share with you some arts and culture events happening in and around Detroit.
Peter, what do you have for us?
- April is Jazz Appreciation Month.
So I'm starting off with Detroit Jazz icon, Dr.
Professor Leonard King's performances, happening now through the 12th at Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe, one of the premier jazz venues in southeast Michigan.
- [Haley] Starting Friday, April 11th, Wayne State University presents Emelia at Hillberry Gateway's the Studio.
It tells the story of a feminist and poet who challenged the patriarchal norms of the Renaissance era.
The show runs through April 19th.
- [Peter] Looking for a way to add a touch of spring to your home?
Look no further than the Michigan Makers Second Annual Spring Market at the Suburban Collection Show Place on Saturday, April 12th.
The market will be brimming with talented Michigan artisans, crafters, and other small businesses.
- [Haley] Also, Saturday, April 12th, the renowned folk artist Ani DiFranco will perform at Royal Oak Music Theater.
DiFranco's music is a mix of folk, rock, and punk, with a strong emphasis on social justice and political activism.
- [Peter] And yet another iconic musician, Detroit's own Jack White, graces the stage at the Masonic Temple, April 12th and 13th.
- And of course, there's so much more to do.
So stay tuned for a few more of our top picks.
