Rev. Robert Jones

Saturday, September 17

8:00-9:45pm - $15 advance tickets, $20 at the door


Inspirational storyteller and musician Rev. Robert Jones celebrates the history, humor and power of American Roots music. His show traces the development and impact of African/American music through the decades, including in his own songs and stories.


Reverend Robert Jones, Sr. is a singer, songwriter, storyteller and self-taught award-winning multi-instrumentalist. He plays guitar, harmonica, mandolin, banjo and fiddle using folk, blues, spirituals and other American Roots music to champion the history, beauty and power of our shared culture.


A lifelong Detroiter, Rev. Jones has been performing professionally for nearly 30 years throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. He has entertained and educated audiences of all ages in schools, colleges, libraries, union halls, prisons, churches and civil rights organizations. His deep love for traditional African American and American music is shared in live performances that interweave timeless stories with original and traditional songs. At the heart of his message is the belief that our cultural diversity tells a story that should celebrate, not just tolerate.


Acclaimed photographer James Fraher writes about Robert: “Perhaps the world’s most highly educated blues musician, an ordained minister, a longtime DJ, and a living encyclopedia of blues history, the Reverend Robert Jones is comfortable among juke joint loud talkers, fancy-hatted church ladies, and PhDs alike.”

TCFA continues our regular programming in various venues around the area. Save the date while we continue to work on firming up our locations.
