A Community Partner Program. Join us for a fun evening with historian Tom Locke. For Adults. Registration required.

Tom Locke, award-winning author and musicologist, speaks to the fascinating stories behind Rock and Roll's founding decades. 

With the goal of putting a smile on your face, come and journey down memory lane with Tom, as he highlights the music we grew up with. Interactive in nature and featuring the playing of some memorable tunes, Tom’s presentation goes where his audience takes it. Perhaps you will “learn something new about the music you know.”

Tom will have both of his books available for purchase.  $30.00 per book or $50.00 for both

Light refreshments will be served.
