British Invasion: Songs from the 1960s and 1970s

  • Monroe Free Library 44 Millpond Parkway Monroe, NY, 10950 United States (map)

While the American Blues found its origins in the United States, the unique sound traveled across the ocean to England were it took root and later returned as part of the highly successful British Invasion of the1960s. Travel back in time with Alex Prizgintas and learn some of the fascinating stories behind iconic hits such as Led Zeppelin’s Kashmir, The Kinks’ You Really Got Me, The Zombies’ Time of the Season, and more. Classically trained, he employs non-classical tools like distortion, delay, and the iconic “wah-wah” guitar pedals symbolic of 1960s Rock n’ Roll bands--all in conjunction with a looping station. Equally comfortable with intimate and stadium settings, Alex is able to craft his own wall-of-sound through his 1,000 watt amp. Accompanied with a narration that reveal some of the back stories of baroque, jazz, folk, and Rock n’ Roll classics, he immerses his audience in a journey through musical history.
