Relive one of the most influential decades in music history with former 1960s Rock & Roll DJ Jack Fisher during his summer lecture series, “Summer in the ‘60s.”
An influential period of American history, the 1960s included an unpopular war in Vietnam, assassinations of major American figures, an escalating Cold War, the feminist movement, riots in major cities, a burgeoning drug culture, and the first lunar landing.
Fisher’s talks will demonstrate how the music of the ‘60s both reflected and affected major events throughout the decade.
The lecture series will be three sessions, each focusing on a different period of music that evolved as the decade progressed. The first lecture, “The New Frontier: 1960-1963,” will be offered in the Barrett Room of the Spartanburg County Library’s downtown campus on June 3, 7-8:30 p.m. Admission is $10 for one lecture or $25 for all three.
Tickets can be reserved at www.spartanburghistory.org or purchased at the door. For more information about all three lectures visit the Spartanburg County Historical Association online at www.spartanburghistory.org or call (864)596-3501.
