Blues For Schools

“BluesForSchools”

A new and very creative Music Scholarship and Sports/Academic initiative, “BluesForSchools” is being developed by the renowned Producer, Recording and Mixing Engineer Bob Sloane. (Bob’s recent production, the album “Timeless” by Blues Legend John Hammond, was just awarded “ Best Acoustic Blues Record” at the 2015 Blues Music Awards in Memphis TN.) He has also received National Acclaim for many of his other recording projects over the past 28 years in the business. Along with his music endeavors, Bob has also enjoyed a very successful career as a Sales, Marketing and Business consultant for the past 35 years.

  The idea is to create a series of 5 concerts at each registered “BluesForSchools” High School throughout the United States. The majority (55%)of the proceeds raised by each registered school will be injected into each schools funding program to support and fund scholarships, academic and sports programming. The Blues Artists/Musicians that will be performing, that have signed on board (in which there are dozens) are those of National Touring caliber of which Bob has worked with for the past 20plus years.

  A “Go Fund Me” campaign has been created to generate seed money-proceeds from concerts and a variety of related revenue streams (Ticket sales, sales of CDs, DVDs, T-shirts, posters, etc. will provide funding for the scholarships.

This initiative will not only raise awareness and appreciation of our American Musical heritage, but it encourages student, parent and community participation while addressing some of the many on-going problems associated with a lack of funding for vital extra curricular activities in our schools, such as Music and Sports.

The ultimate goal of an approximate $35,000.00 Scholarship/Academic  Fund for each participating registered “BluesForSchools” High School can be reached with a 5 concert series.
