"I truly believe that music, generally, brings people of all colors and backgrounds together. That’s power. And, that’s love. The human spirit is an amazing thing to witness. The Blues genre is no pariah, yet the Blues community is small: is represented by a small community of devoted listeners, avid followers and creative genius. Notably, we’ve seen artists from all backgrounds become great creators of blues music, and that speaks volumes for it is the art…

"I feel like we have a ministry of distraction. If I can provide people a few moments of joy or move folks out on the dance floor, then I have performed a great service as a worship minister. People go out to see live music performance to forget about their troubles and enjoy life and I am pleased to be a part of that."

"The Blues was certainly the main artistic movement of the last century. Since then, music has become a tool for the freedom of oppressed peoples. And apart from everything that happened afterwards with the songs that were created having the Blues as their roots. I want music to touch people's hearts and make them think how music is one of the greatest gifts we have in our existence, and it is always present in our lives."…

"Trueness. I want to speak the truth about how I feel about whatever it is and hope people accept me for who I am and what I do. People don’t have to love me, but respect what I do. People can say “I don’t like Bobby Rush, but damn he’s good.” That’s fine by me. Also to be able to keep the groove going so I can tell my story on top of the groove I create."

Bobby Rush: Sitting on the Blues…

"Blues is the root, everything else is the fruit. Many music lovers today don't know this. So it would be nice to educate music lovers about the history of this beautiful music called BLUES. It is the foundation that most modern music is built on. It would be a shame to lose the root."

"I believe that blues is way of opening your soul and sharing your feelings, nowadays we all have some blues within us, maybe not like the olden days but in one way or another we all unfortunately has daily issues, especially in these last few years with the co-vid.

Especially when you are playing it; live, at home, in a studio, just about anywhere it makes you forget your troubles and worries. You ‘charge your battery’ and carry on. Every journey is a music album and vice versa, every tune is a breath of life."

Music is a Social Mind Relaxer."

"The music I am exposed to today... I find lacks depth and heart. Like most of what's going in in the world... I fear the loss of human connection. Hopefully the Blues will take over for the empty music we are feed on commercial radio. People are hungry to feel and be moved."

"Music is such a powerful language which transcends all communication barriers. If used correctly it can influence vast amounts of people by delivering the message you want. You have to be careful in what you imply because the result might not be what you intended. Many have been irresponsible in their choice of message, and many have been spot on. I personally want my music to uplift and or impart the truth as it is and help raise the consciousness of the…

"The music in the past was soulful, it was made from the heart. Nowadays, the focus is on commercial music and economic profit. I fear that technology will replace the great artists of the past, people who only played an instrument for fun and achieved amazing things. I worry that there will never be a new Louis Armstrong or Meade Lux Lewis again."
