Roots of America Music Benefit, an old fashioned Rock, Roots, Rhythm & Blues Revue, feathering the Cleveland Stars of Roots of American Music. Along with some of the idividuals who attended.
Roots of American Music (ROAM) began in 1999 as the Fairmount Music Education Fund. The organization, a non-profit, 501(c) 3 corporation, currently employs more than 30 musicians/educators who collectively have thousands of school performances to their credit.
ROAM strives to create exciting roots-music-based assembly and residency programs that connect to state and district standards in the arts, social studies and other subjects.
ROAM’s programming content is as varied as the genres of music performed by the musicians. ROAM carefully works with municipal educators to create cross-curricular programming that emphasizes multiculturalism, racial and ethnic diversity and respect.
ROAM’s programs are often presented in schools that would otherwise not be able to offer their students any music education or performance.
ROAM’s residencies are filled with the joy of music, giving students the chance to sing, play, make instruments, learn about musical form and create their own music – while learning the history of their country, state, city and neighborhood.
