Boppa Chua! Marc Black’s History of the 1950’s and 60’s through Popular Song

New York Blues Hall of Fame inductee, Marc Black, will be your guide through an evening of song, storytelling and laughter through these two historically defining decades.  You’ll celebrate wonderful songs as diverse as Itsy Bitsy, Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka -Dot Bikini and Blowin’ in the Wind, as well as tunes by artists ranging from Dean Martin to George Harrison.  In addition to the music and conversation, this popular program features a slide show by Susan Black that’s sure to slide you right back in time.  Marc will also perform his own group’s top forty hit from his tour with The Doors, Neil Diamond, The Dave Clark Five and Van Morrison… ‘Happy’ by the ‘Blades of Grass’.

Marc’s history includes his high school band, The Blades of Grass, hitting the top forty and touring with the Doors and Van Morrison as well as his recording and performing with the likes of Art Garfunkel, Taj Mahal and Richie Havens. He embodies the confidence and originality that comes from his lifelong dedication to his craft. And to bring this exciting show altogether, his wife, Susan, has created a unique visual presentation that perfectly complements Marc’s music filled storytelling. https://www.marcblack.com/
