ROWLEY – The “Beat Generation” – A Cultural Review of the 1950s Through Music will be presented in Rowley on Thursday, July 18 beginning at 1:00 PM at the Rowley Senior Center, 39 Central St., Rowley, MA.
This presentation features live acoustic music and audience sing-alongs, coupled with audio and video clips highlighting the best (and sometimes the worst) of the 1950s.
The decade of the 1950s conjures up images of the Korean War, the beginnings of the Cold War, the Civil Rights movement, the Hula-Hoop, and Elvis, to name just a few.
The music reflected the times and we pay tribute in this presentation to many of the greats: Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Charles, Little Richard, James Brown, Fats Domino, Pat Boone, and others. The presenter is Fran Hart, founding member of the Beatles tribute band 4EverFab. The presentation is family-friendly and suitable for all ages.
The presentation is hosted by the Rowley Council on Aging.
This program is supported in part by a grant from the Rowley Cultura Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
