Jack White and Hanif Abdurraqib are musical, literary, and artistic icons and great friends to the literary scene of the Great Lakes and Midwest. The event co-stars drummer, journalist, and Third Man Records label executive Ben Blackwell; poet and author Caroline Randall Williams; author and Pulitzer Prize finalist Adrian Matejka; author Ruth Awad and more. The first 150 attendees at the door will receive a tote bag with giveaways, including a copy of There's Always This Year by Hanif Abdurraqib.
The evening will kick off with a half-hour of poetry readings, followed by the main event: a half-hour in-conversation with Jack White, Hanif Abdurraqib and Ben Blackwell. A DJ and dance party will follow. Third Man Records is an active vinyl plant, so throughout the night attendees will get to see vinyl records being pressed.
