About Matt Watroba with Robert Jones

Ever since their first meeting, over thirty years ago, Robert Jones and Matt Watroba have been musical partners. Their relationship dates back to when they hosted back-to-back radio shows on WDET-FM, Detroit. In performing together, they discovered a friendship based in mutual respect and a love for traditional American music.

For Matt and Robert, American Roots Music (Folk, Blues, Spirituals, Work Songs, Chants, etc.) is “Music that Matters”. It is music that reflects history, social change, migration, hopes and dreams. Together, in 2019, they formed a non-profit company called Common Chords. Its purpose is to create connections through music and the arts to bring us into a common understanding of one another.

This year, 2026, is Matt’s 50th year in radio and 40th as a performer. In 2019, Matt was inducted into the Folk DJ Hall of Fame at the Folk Alliance International conference in Montreal. Matt sings and writes songs of compassion, inner strength, humor, and everyday living. As an ordained minister and a Baptist pastor, Robert Jones has an unwavering faith in the cultural importance of sacred and traditional American roots music to make a bridge between cultures and generations.. An award-winning multi-instrumentalist, he is accomplished on guitar, harmonica, mandolin, banjo, fiddle, and ukulele. He has recorded six albums of original and traditional songs.

As talented as they are individually, together they offer powerful songs, unforgettable stories, spiritual depth, and a rare kind of authenticity that is simply enjoyable. Visit Matt’s website. Visit Robert’s website.
