Stemming from the call and response traditions of American plantation workers, Blues music is a uniquely American music form reflecting the power of the human spirit. The Blues is music of healing, hope and emotional connection. It provides a format for expressive creativity and artistic unity. By communicating empathy with the adversities of others, the Blues is exceptionally positioned as a mechanism for promoting the health and well being of children facing personal challenges and for celebrating their successes.
Blues music as an art form has been a source of comfort and hope for generations of people grappling with difficult life circumstances. Its themes are universal in the human experience, yet it is intensely personal in its expression and can convey a broad range of human emotion from anguish to elation. We seek to use age appropriate blues music as a medium for helping young people to access the depth of their feelings. In addition, we hope to provide a vehicle for each to realize his or her capacity to express their personal sense of life in the context of an art form and tradition that places their experience on a continuum and emphasizes commonality in forging a path through life.
As the roots of Jazz and Rock, Blues music provides a vehicle for historical connection and educational integration. We work with schools and other venues to integrate our programs into their existing music, history, art and science programs to supplement and enhance their curriculum. We also provide stand-alone Blues programming as desired by the hospitals, schools and children we serve.
