REMOTE History of Rock Music From its roots in the blues, R&B, gospel, country and popular music, rock music has a long and storied history that continues to influence today’s artists. Beginning with “rock and roll” music of the 1950's, the term “rock” first began to be used for pop music from Britain and North America in the mid-1960’s, rapidly expanding to include such variations as classic rock, progressive rock, country rock, punk rock, hard rock, and other iterations by the 1970’s. From this point, distinctions between rock and pop music became increasingly blurred, with rock music gradually being viewed more as part of pop music, rather than a separate music style. Join us as we explore the history, music, influence, and legacy of rock music! CE-MUSIC 2110, 3 Sun., Apr. 7-21, 2:00-4:00 pm, $80.
