 BLUES GOT A SOUL
Proceeds of events go to support the “BLUES GOT A SOUL” Project by the Jus` Blues Music Foundation, Inc. We support Blues music in the schools in the souls of children. The terrible economy has affected all Americans, especially young people who want to be musicians. Many have hidden talents but can’t afford an instrument. Many have talents and don’t know of the outlets to become better. Many are just fascinated with music. Many kid’s today don’t have the alternative of listening to different kinds of music.  ARTISTS INFLUENCE
Most don’t know the history and legacy of music originated by African-Americans. Most don’t know and many don’t remember the African-American artists that are responsible for a generation of a music, sound and style. Many don’t know the Blues and Soul music artists that opened the door for most of the popular R&B artists of today.  MUSIC INFLUENCES We want to help influence young minds by educating them with the history of America's purely original art form, the Blues, by Black people. We bring Blues & Soul music artists to the schools. Elementary, High Schools and Colleges to meet and greet the students. Some students will have Artists as a personal mentor to them. Some High School mentees will be selected for scholarship monies to help further their interest in music education.
