From dance halls to bordellos of his native Baltimore, Eubie Blake rose as a gifted musician. Playing on his folding pump organ at a young age, Eubie knew how his Baltimore roots shaped his identity. This Thursday, May 6, at noon, we welcome music historian Richard Carlin and music artist Ken Bloom to the next MCHC virtual event. Together, Richard and Ken will share how Eubie’s phenomenal memory and packrat tendencies helped them paint a picture of James Herbert “Eubie” Blake's life. Together this dynamic, Grammy Award winning duo drew from Blake’s personal collections —left to the Maryland Center for History and Culture—to help write their biography, "Eubie Blake: Rags, Rhythm, and Race." Join the conversation on Thursday! Register by clicking on the "Program Calendar" tab in our bio link.
