About Roots of American Music:

Since 1999, ROAM has operated as a non-profit organization whose mission is to facilitate learning in diverse communities by providing customized music-integrated programs, workshops, residencies and performances through use of American music. Committed to promoting and preserving American music, including old-time country, folk, gospel, blues and early rock, ROAM strives to enhance educational outcomes and enrich people’s lives. ROAM serves all ages and abilities.

“Following the Crumbs” is part of ROAM’s program called The Ohio Heritage Music Project, whose mission is to re-imagine music production in order to document, preserve and build awareness of regional music. Roots Music Revue is funded, in part, by the Ohio Arts Council.

Taking a cue from the 1930s recordings of John and Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress, and embracing the digital tools of the present, the Ohio Heritage Music Project is in the process of recording artists using older technology, in locations that have strong historical connections to the region and genre of music being performed. The Earnest Tube, a direct-to-lacquer recording service that allows artists to create a playable “record” on the spot, will provide recording services. This project merges an older form of technology with a newer form of podcasting. A podcast of this project will be posted on the internet in the spring of 2019. As part of the event, Tim Easton will be recorded earlier in the day at Earnest Tube using direct-to-lacquer technology.
