About this event
Celebrate National Radio Day with this multimedia experience including audio, visuals, nostalgia, and audience engagement. Pamela Enzweiler-Pulice, who brought us “The Dick Biondi Story,” takes us through the early years of rock ‘n’ roll. We’ll trace its roots and its cultural evolution from the ‘40s to the ‘70s, featuring Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Muddy Waters, and Bo Diddley.
