Event Details

Join us for a 60-year retrospective about one of the greatest musical eras of all time! In early 1964, the Beatles became a cultural phenomenon with their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. One year later, the British Invasion was in full swing, and American artists began to mount their own musical response. Take a fun and nostalgic journey with pop culture historian Marty Gitlin as he highlights performances by British Invasion superstars such as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks, Hollies, Dave Clark Five and The Who, as well as their American counterparts like the Beach Boys, Mamas and Papas, Temptations, Simon & Garfunkel, and Turtles and Rascals. He will also discuss how these artists influenced pop culture and society as well as each other's music, and offer trivia questions for patrons to ponder. At the end of the talk, Marty will host a lively Q&A session with the audience!
