About This Activity
Six IN-PERSON sessions January 11, 25, February 1, 8, 15, 22 (Note this course does not meet January 18 due to the MLK, Jr. Holiday.) In the 1960s, the British Invasion changed popular music in America. A continuation of the Summer 2026 BULLI Course, we will examine the musical styles and influences of British bands from the early 1960s and their effect on American Rock and Roll and music in general. We'll listen to songs by The Beatles, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, and many other groups. Join us in this fun and enlightening musical journey. (It is not necessary to have attended Part 1 of the British Invasion course to participate in this course.)
