Jim Roll was the first headline artist to grace the Manchester Underground stage when the series launched in 2019. That debut show featuring the immensely talented Carol Gray was nothing short of mesmerizing. Manchester Underground is thrilled to welcome Jim Roll back, this time with a full band.
A singer, songwriter, and producer from Ypsilanti, Michigan, Jim Roll has co-written songs with acclaimed novelists Rick Moody and Denis Johnson and has released four albums. His album Inhabiting the Ball was named the #5 rock record of 2002 by Amazon critics. Don’t miss this special performance!

One of Toledo, Ohio's best-kept secrets, Bluesman Dooley Wilson plays "bottleneck" slide guitar in his own unmistakable fashion, fermented over more than three decades of playing experience, spanning from New Orleans to the Mississippi Delta to Europe. With a style profoundly rooted in the Mississippi blues and gospel tradition, Wilson sounds like a transporting anachronism without being a note-for-note archivist. He is the most obscure American Bluesman to have been covered by the iconic rock group The White Stripes.
