Description

A few years ago, Ypsilanti musician Matt Jones began a project recording area bands in his basement on River Street, trying to document current musicians and their work. The project grew and grew, and in the time since, Jones has traveled thousands of miles and recorded hundreds of musicians from all over Michigan, contributing songs to be preserved in the State Archives in Lansing.

The River Street Anthology (RSA) has become an ongoing cultural documentation project creating a map of Michigan's musical landscape. The RSA Listening Party is a special opportunity to witness live recordings of local artists, view exclusive videos of past performances, and listen to recent recordings of songs that are unavailable anywhere else. Listen to what's going into our state's musical life with the River Street Anthology.
