Music of the 60’s and 70’s with Joe Sarnicola
Music from the 60’s and 70’s will be performed by popular Auburn musician, Joe Sarnicola, Sunday, September 13th beginning at 7pm at the Frontenac Museum in Union Springs. These were transformative decades in music featuring rock, pop, soul, folk and disco. Think of the Beatles, Motown, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix. Music from this era not only shaped popular culture but also reflected social movements, from civil rights to anti-war protests. Joe will play the guitar and ukulele and promised that he will dress the part! Join in the fun as we step back through time and explore the people and events of this groovy period through popular music with Auburn musician Joe Sarnicola. This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
