About this event

American music. That’s what Marc Cohn and The Blind Boys of Alabama create. Cohn shot to fame in 1991 with the bluesy, soulful "Walking in Memphis." The song describes his visit to the city of blues pioneer W.C. Handy, rock 'n' roll king Elvis Presley and soul legend Al Green, all mentioned in the lyrics. The Blind Boys began singing together in 1939, and founding member Jimmy Carter still tours with the group. Through the decades, they have remained faithful to their passionate style of gospel music, which springs – like Cohn's very personal songs of poignancy and inspiration – straight from the heart. Season tickets go on sale to new buyers on Monday, March 5. “Build Your Own” mini season ticket packages of three or more shows become available starting the following Monday, March 12. The on-sale date for individual tickets is Monday, March 19. Tickets may be purchased online, by phone or in person at the MSU Riley Center Box Office. Click the "Link" below for more information.
