Roots of Rhythm Travel's products have all been designed by Richard Knight who, after writing 'The Blues Highway: New Orleans to Chicago' - the definitive music and travel guide to the cradle of jazz and blues, became convinced there must be other people out there who, like us, love music and love to travel.

We work in partnership with leading US tour specialists AmeriCan and Worldwide Travel to offer fully-bonded jazz- and blues-focused fly-drive and small group tours to the States for music lovers.

We also offer tours to some European jazz festivals and we can tailor-make music tours for groups of any size should you wish to design a tour which you don't see featured here.

Our head office is in the UK but we welcome international clients and we have affiliates in America to meet the needs of US customers.

Our staff members are passionate about music and love to travel. No-one knows the cradle of American music better. So whether you're into jazz, blues, Cajun, zydeco, country, rock & roll, soul or gospel music, we can help you create the trip of a lifetime.

We're currently planning new tours to other world regions both to visit jazz and blues festivals and to explore other genres like salsa, son and reggae. If you have ideas for where you might like to go next, we'd love to hear from you.
