The Completely Abridged History of Bay Area Music - Virtual Event
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Join us for The Completely Abridged History of Bay Area Music, a humorous, immersive, and historically accurate course that distills six decades of mind-altering, revolutionary-starting, beat-making, and life-affirming music that originated from these nine counties.
Featuring: The Grateful Dead, Sly and The Family Stone, Janis Joplin, The Pointer Sisters, Tower of Power, The Avengers, Chris Isaak, Faith No More, Too $hort, 2Pac, Green Day, Primus, Oh Sees, Ledisi, Mac Dre, Tune-Yards, Toro y Moi, Fantastic Negrito, and more!
From the Wine Country to Silicon Valley, the Bay Area has historically been a haven for invention and an incubator for creativity. My course will reveal The Bay's inventive influence on folk, rock, R&B, gospel, punk, Latin music, hip-hop, classical, jazz, and experimental music. Plus, there will be jokes. And maps.
