A Journey through the Roots of American Popular Music”
On Tuesday, May 6th, Jon and Li Waterman will perform “A Journey through the Roots of American Popular Music” for Cary Memorial Library. The program will be held at the Lexington Community Center at 39 Marrett Rd. in Westborough at 7:00 pm. The program consists of original songs and history and explores some of the fascinating characters and events at the roots of the blues, country, rock, and other genres of American popular music. The show also touches on the darker side of American popular music as well as how music helps shape our identity as a people. Songwriters and musicians, Jon and Li Waterman have performed their music and history programs in venues throughout New England as part of a series called Live Music Making History Live. The series was designed to encourage the celebration and exploration of history through music. The program is supported in part by a grant from the Lexington Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
