Come join us as Newport Live presents The Reverend Robert Jones, Sr on Saturday, February 14th, 7:00 PM at the Greenvale Vineyards, 582 Wapping Road, Portsmouth, RI . Call Newport Live at (401)400-2774. We're celebrating the blues, Black History Month, and Reverend Robert Jones special brand of storytelling.

Rev. Robert Jones, Sr. is a renaissance man. He has been a professional musician for more than forty years. The legendary blues man, Willie Dixon encouraged him to bring his music into schools over 35 years ago. In fact, The National Blues Foundation recognized his work as a leading blues educator in 2007. He has been a Pastor for more than 20 years, and he has been a nationally recognized storyteller for more than fifteen years. All of those experiences have allowed him work in a variety of ways and to apply his speaking and musical skills to educate, entertain, and inspire. At the heart of his message is the belief that our cultural diversity tells a story that should celebrate, not just tolerate.
