The Influence of American Rock 'n' Roll on the Beatles
Wednesday, March 2, 6:30-8 PM
Free program. Registration required.
Before
the Beatles ever wrote their own songs or performed on stage, they were
inspired to do so by American rock 'n' roll records. This 90-minute multimedia
program will illustrate the influence of Carl Perkins,
Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and other American recording
artists from the 1950's on the Beatles through side-by-side comparisons and
musical analysis of Beatles covers and original
recordings.
Aaron Krerowicz is a professional Beatles scholar with an A.D.
from the University of Hartford, The Hartt School; a M.M. from Boston
University, College of fine Arts; and B.M. from Butler University, Jordan
College of Fine Arts.
