Jerry Blue

Home › Our Amazing Artists › Artist Roster ›

Keeping traditional African-American stories alive is part of Jerry Blue’s mission as a storyteller. He believes that too often we look to television, movies and books, and overlook human sources—the people who have been around for years and know the local lore and stories.
