The after-school program and Summertime Blues Camp formed in 1998, draws students from the Tuscaloosa Boys and Girls Club, the Tuscaloosa Methodist Children's Home, the Tuscaloosa Housing Authority and the wider community. The program is completely voluntary and free to students, and brings in sixty new beginning students each year. The Project band is composed of many students who joined the original program in 1998, as well as more recent members.
The band meets once a week for rehearsals with professional blues musician instructors. They regularly perform at community events including Cityfest, Kentuck Art Festival, Magic City Blues Festival, Market Street Festival, Tuscaloosa Crawfish Festival, and the University of Alabama’s Earthfest. In 2006 The Project band performed in Memphis at the Blues Foundation’s “Keeping the Blues Alive” award ceremony.
