JOEY G: THE BIRTH OF ROCK ’n ROLL                               

Wednesday, November 6, at 2:00 P.M.

     Joey G will take you on a journey through the Fabulous 50s and show how, in ten short years, radio stations would go from playing Sinatra to airing a new music called Rock ’n Roll. We saw a young man named Elvis and heard a new music that changed the way we’d listen to music forever. All songs will be sung live by Joey G. He’ll tell you stories about each of the artists, along with comedy and facts about the 1950s.
