Black Box Presents - Fort Pierce Jazz & Blues Society's Jazz Jams

The exposed wall on the side of the Black Box dates back to the 1920s, and every Tuesday this May the theatre will be filled with the music of that era as well. That's because the Fort Pierce Jazz & Blues Society will be hosting jam sessions at our theatre this month. These professionals will play classic tracks as well as show off their talent through improvisation. And if you know something about jazz yourself, you're welcome to bring your instrument and sit in with the band. The offer extends to singers too.

The sessions go from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. with drinks and snacks available for purchase. Cover charge is $5.

Black Box Presents - John Lee Hooker, Jr.

Sitting in my cell for a month
I finally receive a letter in
Which we call in jail "medication"
Because it really does ease the pain of loneliness.

And it said: Dear John
Our prayers have finally been answered because
You just got caught.
I hope that when this letter reaches you
It finds that you're all stressed out.

John Lee Hooker, Jr. is the son of blues legend John Lee Hooker and a Grammy nominee and Blues Award winner in his own right. John's travels take him to the Sunrise's Black Box this Friday, an up-close-and-personal setting perfect for his music. Visit his Web site to listen to samples, and click here to order tickets.
