Description

In this musical lecture, Rob will lead us through the 20th century Folk Revival, which began in the 1940s and peaked in the 1960s, a period when folk was a dominant force on the music charts in America and Canada. Rob will interpret a series of well-known songs from this movement, telling the fascinating stories of their creation and the artists who made them famous.

Presented by speaker and musician, Rob Lutes (guitar, banjo, vocals)
