A 6-Week Music History Course with Pete Elman

How America surrendered to the advance guard of the British Invasion, weaponized by our own roots music.

What often gets lost in any discussion or course about the Beatles and the Rolling Stones is the simplest of facts; these were two of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. This course will take a hard look at how two groups of young British musicians, infatuated with America, reached deep into arguably our greatest cultural legacy of the 20th century–popular music– to achieve fame and fortune.

In this course, we will explore how these bands were influenced heavily by the Delta Blues of the 1930’s and the electric Chicago blues of the 1940’s-1950’s; the folk and country music out of Nashville in the same period; the classic R&B that came out of New York and LA; the early rock and roll, mainly out of New Orleans; rockabilly that came blazing out of Memphis in the late 1950’s, the magic that was Motown, and most importantly, the poetry and guitar of Chuck Berry.
