Join us on the eve of the 60th anniversary of the Beatles' historic first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show to take a fun and nostalgic journey through the most iconic and greatest era of rock-and-roll history with author and pop culture historian Marty Gitlin.

Marty will highlight performance videos of influential British Invasion superstars such as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks, Hollies, Dave Clark Five and The Who as well as American bands that provided a wonderful reply such as the Beach Boys, Mamas and Papas, Temptations, Simon & Garfunkel, Turtles and Rascals.  He'll discuss how these artists influenced pop culture and society, compare and contrast their music, and share a few trivia questions to ponder (including snippets of songs from which patrons must identify the band!). The presentation will conclude with a question-and-answer period. This program is a lot of fun so join in!

If you or someone in your party need accommodations to attend this event, please email danversref@noblenet.org at least one week in advance of the date of the program.
