Event Details

Join Keith Crocker as he traces the creation of the folk-rock movement by analyzing the influence of Bob Dylan on the Beatles and the Beatles’ effect on the electronic sound of the Byrds. Dylan’s introspective lyrics brought a mature subject matter to the forefront of the Beatles’ writing, yet the Beatles’ twangy guitar sound bounced back to the United States and gave an electrical undercurrent to the folk-fused music of the Byrds. Trace the power of inspiration via lyrical analysis and clips of each artist in action.
