Rev. Robert and Sis. Bernice Jones
and American Roots Music In Education (A.R.M.I.E.)
For over 20 years Robert Jones has been a champion of American Roots music, with a special emphasis on traditional African American music. In the past three years, his wife and even his children have joined him in this celebration.
Spiritual, blues, work songs, field hollers, country music, folk songs, gospel and original songs are all a part of fabric of American Roots Music. This is the music that gave the world jazz, R&B, bluegrass, rock and even Hip Hop. This music also communicates history and tradition that goes far beyond mere music. It is the goal of Robert and his family to share what they have learned about this music through presentations and performances.
