Musician Art Grossman to Perform Iconic Songs of the 1960s and Share the Stories Behind the Music on October 29

Reading, MA — Art Grossman, on acoustic guitar, returns to the library to take us on a journey through folk songs that shaped the 1960s. Join us on Thursday evening, October 29, for a live performance and stories behind the music that inspired change during one of America’s most transformative decades.
Step back into the 1960s—the decade of protest, hope, and change—through the power of music. Hear iconic songs by Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, Joni Mitchell, John Prine, Pete Seeger, and others, and discover how folk music became the voice of civil rights, anti-war movements, and personal reflection. Come for the music, stay for the stories—and explore why these songs still matter today.
