All great things start with a vision and the courage and determination to bring that vision to life. The Blue Shoe Project’s vision was a simple one, to bring aging bluesmen with significant stories into the limelight to tell their stories so that people could learn from them.

It all started in 2004 in a small theatre in Grapevine, Texas and since then has evolved into an organization that has educated and inspired over 500,000 children in 14 states.

A lot has changed since 2004. We now have YouTube and social media has also become a integral part of how people learn and communicate.
