The AMRF is dedicated to the promotion, documentation, and preservation of American Music, particularly blues, ragtime, boogie woogie, jazz, and rhythm and blues. The primary venue for this mission is our annual Motor City Blues & Boogie Woogie Festival.

The American Music Research Center (AMRC) is dedicated to exploring and celebrating the diverse and rich traditions of American music. The AMRC is home to a rare music repository that includes scores, papers, recordings, and material artifacts that document the history of American music and the people who have made it.
