The AMRF is dedicated to the promotion, documentation, and preservation of American Music, particularly blues, ragtime, boogie woogie, jazz, and rhythm and blues.

A major focus of our work is making the connection between music and the artists who create it. We do this primarily by capturing artists on video, both in performance and in extensive interviews in which they tell their stories.

The primary venue for this mission is our annual Motor City Blues & Boogie Woogie Festival. The raw footage is retained in our archives for historical purposes and also used to create programs for public television.

The ultimate goal is to document and preserve American cultural and musical history so that future generations will not forget.
