How rock ’n’ roll took the country by storm will be featured during Wartburg College’s “America’s Music” series Thursday, Oct. 10.
The Emmy-nominated “History of Rock ‘n’ Roll” will be shown during the 6:30-8:30 p.m. session at the Waverly Public Library. Legends such as Bruce Springsteen, Judi Collins, Jimi Hendrix and the Beach Boys are featured. A rare meeting between Bob Dylan and The Beatles is also highlighted. The film is free and open to the public.
A discussion led by Dr. Geoffrey Wilson, Wartburg lecturer in music, will follow.
The six-week “America’s Music” series runs consecutive Thursdays until Oct. 17.
