CREATING A HIGH-DEFINITION VIDEO ARCHIVE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

ARMS is dedicated to preserving the great performances, history and oral tradition, of American Roots Music. We create educational television programs that distribute to PBS affiliates, and our archives may be accessed worldwide through a robust content management system that streams performances, interviews and programs online.

We produce concerts and special events, and documentaries and television shows that promote awareness of America’s musical treasures, and are creating study guides to help integrate Roots Music into curriculum in English, History, Georgraphy and Arts.

"This is the quintessential American Music.
Telling these stories, Honeyboy's story, is necessary.
Without this music there would be no music at all."
Morgan Freeman, actor

With budget cuts in music programs there is virtually no public assistance for our projects. Despite this lack of funding, we’ve continued to film and record hundreds of the greatest performances of legendary American musicians, that otherwise would be lost.

Please take a look at what we’ve accomplished and make a decision to help us to continue the good work that we’ve started.
