View outsider artist Alfred McMoore’s unusual pencil and crayon drawings and see the Black Keys live in a small venue. Alfred McMoore was a longtime friend of the band who often used the term “black key”, the inspiration for their name. He passed away this September but will be remembered on November 27th at Musica. Although he had mental health issues throughout his life, McMoore was able to live independently with the help of Community Support Services. Proceeds from this event will be used to benefit the 2,000 Summit County residents currently being aided by Community Support Services.
