SUMMARY:PCA Coffeehouse: Reverend Robert B. Jones\, Sr.
DESCRIPTION:The PCA Coffeehouse Series is thrilled to welcome a special guest to the stage on February 9 at 7:30pm with none other than Reverend Robert Jones\, Sr.! Jones’ 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. \nWhen you couple authenticity with the talent of a truly exceptional nature: songwriting\, storytelling\, multi-instrumentalist\, award winning educator\, and an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of African American folk music\, including blues\, spiritual\, and slave songs … its players and styles … you get the Reverend Robert B. Jones\, Sr. Jones is an inspirational 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 shared culture. 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.” \nThis concert is generously sponsored by Enterprise Bank/Westford.
