 Robert Lockwood, Jr. 1915-2006
Honoring America's Legends

Welcome to the official Myspace Community of The Blue Shoe Project, the non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and perpetuation of America's Music.

 

Who we are: About The Blue Shoe Project

The Blue Shoe Project - a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization - was founded with the mission of educating the coming generations on the importance of Blues and American roots music. The musical genres that fall within the category of “American roots” have left an indelible mark on the evolution of music world-wide and continue to influence countless artists.

Blues is a music genre that has empowered the powerless and given artists the means to express themselves in a non-violent form through voice and instrumentation. Blues is the real American Tale as it was lived. If there were no history books, the bluesman's tale would recount the struggles and triumphs that America progressed through to achieve its greatness.

What we do:

The Blue Shoe Project furthers its educational mission through first-hand artist interaction and by providing high-quality arts education programming at little or no cost to students. Since the inception of The Blue Shoe Project we have conducted over thirty-five high quality programs with local, regional, and national artists throughout The Dallas/Fort-Worth area. These events have gained national media attention and garnered a strong and dedicated audience following.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)

"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!"

Jeff and Mike,

Thought I'd drop by and see what's going on in Texas these days. From the pictures its starting to look like Mike is cleaning up pretty good these days! 8-0 Definitely must be a chip off of the old block.

Keep on keeping on. The work you're doing is great and its good to seeing you're doing well.

All the best.

Kyle
