In Performance at the White House Red, White and Blues will honor the musical form that sprang from the Mississippi Delta and flourished in the Westside of Chicago. The performances will explore those roots and pay homage to the great figures of the Blues and the songs they made famous by tracing the influence of the Blues on modern American music from soul to rock n roll.
