Featuring: drummer, journalist and Third Man Records label executive Ben Blackwell, poet and author Caroline Randall Williams, author and Pulitzer Prize finalist Adrian Matejka, and more.

Join us for this exclusive and unbelievable event! Happening the opening night of Heartland Fall Forum. Hosted at Third Man Records on Wednesday, October 18. The first 150 attendees at the door will receive a tote bag with giveaways. The evening will kick off with a half-hour of poetry readings, followed by the main event: a half-hour in-conversation with Jack White and Hanif Abdurraqib, also featuring Ben Blackwell. Following our main event will be a DJ and dance party. Third Man Records is also an active vinyl plant, so throughout the night attendees will get to see vinyl records being pressed. We will have more cool announcements in the coming weeks. 

Jack and Hanif are musical, literary and artistic icons, and great friends to the literary scene of the Great Lakes and Midwest. We have put together one of the biggest and coolest events we’ve ever hosted at Heartland Fall Forum. We are honored and excited to provide our stores this experience. ​
