NYC: JOHN KOPROWSKI: FIVE YEARS THAT ROCKED THE WORLD, 1964-1969
John Koprowski brings his show 'Five Years that Rocked the World' to DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788) on Tuesday, March 3rd at 7:00 pm & Saturday, March 7th at 5:00 pm. John Koprowski takes us on a musical journey through the days that created the '60s sound: the campus free speech movement, the Vietnam war and anti-war protests, civil rights marches, Ken Kesey and Timothy Leary, Haight-Ashbury and the Summer of Love, Fillmore East and West, the Beatles and the British invasion, Dylan going electric, Altamont, Monterey, and Woodstock. Setting the scene for this turbulent era are songs by the following artists: The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Jimi Hendrix, The Byrds, The Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and others. John Koprowski, a rock and roll historian as well as a performer, offers these powerful songs in the proper setting - with a five piece band and three backup singers under the direction of Tracy Stark. The entire production is directed by Mr. Eric Michael Gillett. The music that came out of the 1960s is still with us today, and as popular as ever. However, these days you're more likely to hear a song by the Byrds or the Mamas and the Papas as lush string arrangements in an elevator or at the bank. Here's your chance to hear this iconic music as it was meant to be heard: live, loud, and rocking. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
