$20 – $25
Matt Watroba and Robert Jones explore the fusion of European and African musical styles, from spirituals to hip-hop, in this walk through the roots and history of American music.
For Matt Watroba and Robert Jones, American Roots Music (Folk, Blues, Spirituals, Work Songs, Chants, etc.) is Music That Matters. The program begins with early spirituals set in the 1840s and progresses through the songs of the Underground Railroad, the Industrial Revolution, early Blues and its offshoots, Country, Jazz, Bluegrass, Gospel and R&B, and continues into Rap and Hip-Hop. It is the history of music and the music of history.
