Norman Sylvester Band with LaRhonda Steele keeping Blues in the Schools!

“Up early (early for musicians) for Blues in Schools gig. We illustrate that the roots of Cardi B and Kendrick Lamar go way back past Aretha Franklin and Michael Jackson, to Scott Joplin and Bessie Smith, more than 100 years ago, who themselves were on a long evolutionary track going back to Africa. Every culture on earth invented music. We love sharing the music we know with school kids.” – Rob Shoemaker

Thank you to the Musician’s Union Local 99 for funding this important outreach!
