Detroit-born Attorney turned Boogie, Blues, & Ragtime musician, Matthew Ball aka The Boogie Woogie Kid will heat up the piano keys at the Trinity House Theater this Saturday, September 21st 2013 @ 8:00 p.m. 

Performing now for 20 years, and today with over 2.4 million youtube views of his past performance and at home video footage, Ball has become an area phenomena with descriptions of his performances like “Awesome!” “Crushing!” Fantastic!” 

He also boasts a pedagogical link to Frederic Chopin himself!, having studied classically at Oakland University with Dr. Flavio Varani.   Professor Varani traced his pedigree of study through the Paris Conservatory back to Frederic Chopin by way of Magda Tagliaferro, Alfred Cortot, and Emile Descombs, who was a late pupil of the composer Chopin.
