Roots of Rock & Roll (matinee)

  • Brown County Playhouse 70 S Van Buren St Nashville, IN USA (map)

It's hard to imagine a world without Rock and Roll. In the 50’s, a uniquely American product was created blending the roots of country, blues, gospel, and R&B. Rock and Roll was born!

Let's go back to a time when cars were cool, poodle skirts and saddle shoes were hot, weekends were spent at the drive-in, and most importantly -- music was REAL!

Come join Eric Brown (writer, performer, producer, Springsteen tribute artist and world-class guitarist) and Jenn Cristy (singer/songwriter, award-winning pianist, and alum of John Mellencamp's band), as they authentically recreate the great music from the 50s music scene.

Let's celebrate the brilliance of Chuck Berry, the genius of Ray Charles, the depth of Johnny Cash, the sultry tones of Patsy Cline, the raw power of Jerry Lee Lewis and the greatness of Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Etta James, Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin and so many more are all magnificently represented in the powerhouse cast of "Roots of Rock & Roll"!
