Alabama Roots Music Society
What Is It?
 Alabama Roots Music Society or ARMS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that was formed to bring diverse musical genres into the central Alabama area. The current board of directors have been intimately involved in putting on musical events and have developed a network with other interested parties such that ARMS will be able to attract talent and sponsorship. By not limiting the organization to certain types of music, ARMS should be able to appeal to a wide range of people and performers. Knowing that Alabama has a rich musical history, ARMS wants to expose people of the area to live music of current Alabama artists and artists from across the country who have been influenced by those past Alabama icons.

UPCOMING EVENTS!

Sons of Fathers in ARMSchair Concert
At Kiwanis Park in Old Alabama Town
Sons of Fathers, a relatively new band that is receiving high accolades for its rich harmonies and original songs, will headline the first ARMSchair concert event of 2012.

The concert, sponsored by the Alabama Roots Music Society, will be held Wednesday, May 23, at Kiwanis Park in Old Alabama Town in downtown Montgomery. The gate opens at 6pm and the show will begin at 7pm. Admission is $2 per person. Children under 12 will be admitted free.

Sons of Fathers has been compared to The Avett Brothers, The Byrds, Mumford and Sons, The Everly Brothers and Crosby, Stills & Nash. This upstart band from Texas was formed by David Beck and Paul Cauthen whose singing and songwriting naturally complement each other.

Their early influences include Bob Dylan, CSN&Y, Paul Simon, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell, and Robert Earl Keen. Their critically acclaimed debut album, recorded in Spring 2011, is receiving national attention. The band has been labeled by eMusic as one of "12 to watch in 2012."

ARMSchair concerts are rain or shine events. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and picnic dinners. ARMS is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing exceptional musical talent to Montgomery at affordable prices.
