Join us in this musical odyssey as you learn about the cultural and social influences that shaped this American musical phenomenon. Beginning with a study of the African-American musical styles that led to the creation of rock and roll, you will trace the roots of rock music from Slavery in the South to Scotch-Irish settlements in Appalachia. Next, you will discover the early evolution of rock through movie soundtracks of the thirties, forties, and fifties, and then end when rock came of age…with Elvis. Please join us for a rocking good time!
