Join us for a celebration of the life and times of Jo Ann Korczynski, known to her faithful fans on her beloved WHFR radio show as DJ Jo Ann Korczynska, but she was much more than that. A daughter, sister, cousin, wife, mother, aunt and grandmother. An artist, storyteller, dancer, DJ, producer, fundraiser.
The event will include an opportunity to gather with Jo Ann's family, friends and fans to share remembrances and stories. A buffet dinner of Arabic specialties from Al Ameer Restaurant in Dearborn will be served. The night will culminate with a concert by some of the top blues musicians in the Detroit area, paying tribute to the late great Jo Ann Korczynski. Special thanks to the Detroit Blues Society, which had presented Jo Ann with a lifetime achievement award, for producing the concert portion of the event.
