SUMMARY:'60s Girl Groups\, Part II
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: April 23\, 28\, & 30\, 2026 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nThe early 1960s began the girl group renaissance\, with prominent Brill Building songwriters and emerging producers such as Phil Spector crafting hits. Motown would further set the template\, with Martha and the Vandellas\, the Velvettes\, and the Marvelettes inspiring even British Invasion groups.  Perhaps no one defined the girl group aesthetic like the Supremes\, one of the most successful (and influential) acts of the 1960s. \n\n\nAs the next decade loomed\, the girl group genre was not as prominent on the charts.  Yet the Honey Cone\, the Emotions\, the Three Degrees\, and LaBelle added a thoroughly modern spin on the girl group sound\, adding elements of disco and funk.  The Pointer Sisters would achieve even greater success in the late 1970s and 1980s\, with the 1990s bringing a new wave of groups such as En Vogue\, the Spice Girls\, and SWV.  The trend continues today with an international flair\, as the hugely popular K-Pop genre has redrawn the blueprint with artists such as Blackpink and Twice. Part two travels through these eras\, exploring why the girl group genre continues to thrive. Multimedia presentations and discussions will help define how girl groups changed music and pop culture. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Roger McGuinn Music Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Experience the magic of rock history with Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and The Byrds co-founder\, Roger McGuinn\, as he shares rare video\, unforgettable stories\, and the songs that defined a generation. \nBy 1964\, Roger McGuinn was already an experienced figure in both the New York and Los Angeles music scenes when he co-founded the band that would become the Byrds\, alongside Gene Clark and David Crosby. Before forming the Byrds\, McGuinn had toured and performed as a guitarist and banjo player with the Limeliters\, the Chad Mitchell Trio\, and Bobby Darin. He also served as musical director for Judy Collins #3. After the Byrds disbanded in 1973\, McGuinn embarked on a solo career\, releasing five albums with Columbia Records and continuing to tour. \nThis workshop entry is free with the purchase of a concert ticket. Please call the Box Office at 732-263-6889 to get your complimentary ticket.
