On Thursday, October 19, 2023 from 2-3:30pm in the Kingsley Room, join us as musician Marc Black brings history to life through the songs of the 1950s and 60s.
New York Blues Hall of Fame inductee, Marc Black, will be your guide through song, storytelling and laughter through these two historically defining decades. You’ll celebrate wonderful songs as diverse as Itsy Bitsy, Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka -Dot Bikini and Blowin’ in the Wind, as well as tunes by artists ranging from Dean Martin to George Harrison. In addition to the music and conversation, this popular program features a slide show that’s sure to slide you right back in time. Marc will also perform his own group’s top forty hit from 1967 when he toured with The Doors, Neil Diamond, The Dave Clark Five and Van Morrison… ‘Happy’ by the ‘Blades of Grass’.
Marc Black’s history includes his high school band, The Blades of Grass, hitting the top forty and touring with the Doors and Van Morrison as well as his recording and performing with the likes of Art Garfunkel, Taj Mahal and Richie Havens
