The Ink Spots were founded around 1933 by four young Indianapolis singers, Deek Watson, Orville Jones, Charlie Fuqua, and Jerry Daniels. They would go on to become one of the most influential acts in American music, inspiring an entire generation of doo-wop, R&B, and rock and roll musicians. In 1989 the Ink Spots were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the only Indianapolis act to receive this honor. Jerry Daniels left the Ink Spots in 1936, though his time with the group was short, he played a large role in establishing their unique sound.

Join us for an hour of music from Daniels, featuring his early work with the Ink Spots, and his last recordings during the 1980s.

Over the past decade, the U.S. has seen several large protest movements — advocating against things like racial injustice, sexism, gun violence, climate change and even vaccinations.

While protests may look a little different in the age of social media, organizers still face a lot of the same struggles they did during past uprisings like the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 60s.
